Where I should declare a session variable in asp.net
5 answers
I want to make a new session, where whatever is typed in a textbox is saved in that session. Then on another aspx page, I would like to display that session in a label.
I'm just unsure on how to start this, and where to put everything.
I know that I'm going to need:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (Session["newSession"] != null)
{
//Something here
}
}
But I'm still unsure where to put everything.
newSession
is a poor name for a Session
variable. However, you just have to use the indexer as you've already done. If you want to improve readability you could use a property instead which can even be static. Then you can access it on the first page from the second page without an instance of it.
page 1 (or wherever you like):
public static string TestSessionValue
{
get
{
object value = HttpContext.Current.Session["TestSessionValue"];
return value == null ? "" : (string)value;
}
set
{
HttpContext.Current.Session["TestSessionValue"] = value;
}
}
Now you can get/set it from everywhere, for example on the first page in the TextChanged
-handler:
protected void TextBox1_TextChanged(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
TestSessionValue = ((TextBox)sender).Text;
}
and read it on the second page:
protected void Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.Label1.Text = Page1.TestSessionValue; // assuming first page is Page1
}
