Hi I have a session variable on my page and I am setting a value to it on .cs page.
HttpContext.Current.Session.Contents["USERID"]="Manager";

Now,
I want to access this value on other page using javascript.
I went further in following manner:
var someSession = '<%= HttpContext.Current.Session["USERID"] %>';
alert(someSession );

But I am not getting the value of session....instead I am getting
<%=HttpContext.Current.Session["USERID"] %> in the alert box.

How can I approach further?

Solution 1

You can simply set the session value to an asp:HiddenField and access that hidden field value in javascripts.

C# code

C#

HiddenField1.Value = Session["keyName"];

In javascripts, access that value like below

JavaScript

var sessionVal = document.getElementById('<%=HiddenField1.ClientID%>').value;

or you can try this way as well

XML

var username = '<%= Session["UserName"] %>';
alert(username );

I am working on .xsl page and there is no code behind for this page.
So I don't think hidden field will serve the purpose.

Have you checked both the ways which I have mentioned above ?

Yes I have checked both the ways.
I wont be able to use hidden field because the hidden field on xsl page doesnot have access to .cs page.

I am not telling to you use hidden fields please check it properly
This is the alternative way which I have specified.

var username = '<%= Session["UserName"] %>';
alert(username );

I have already tried this option...I am getting the <%= Session["UserName"] %> in alert window and not the value of session.

Thanks guys for your valuable help.
Just had to use a hidden field variable on xsl page and then assign it value in code behind page from session by creating a xmlnode.
