Hi all,

I am new to ASP.Net and C#.
I can't understand what is session.
For example, I can create a Session in aspx.cs page like...

C#

session.add("userid", txtusername);

but I don't know, what is this and how can I get the user id in next page ?

Please help me.

Dear Session is an object which contain information which you want to carry over
Suppose in your page1.aspx there is a test box whose ID is txt_user and a button
And if you want to use this test into next page lets say it is page2.aspx
You have to use like this
For a button click event
use session object

HTML

Session["your_session_variable_name"].ToString()=txt_user.Text;

and this will contains the text box value in session variable then you can use it in next page like this

HTML

String your_name=Session["your_session_variable_name"].ToString();

And now you can use this string till the session ends by default or you kill it

You can add anything in a Session variable but you need to downcast it afterwards..

for example:

in ASP.NET
Session["object"] = anything

CODE BEHIND C#
anything x = (anything) Session["object"];

Hi,

In another page, Session["userid"].ToString() returns the session variable "userid".

More information about Session: Exploring Session in ASP.NET[^]

Hope this helps.
