The issue you are having is because the session variable "cart" is nothing/null when the addCart method is fired. I have updated your code as below:

VB

Protected Function addToCart(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As CommandEventArgs) As Integer



        Dim pid As String = e.CommandArgument.ToString


        If Not IsNothing(Session("cart")) Then
            Dim slCart As SortedList = CType(Session("cart"), SortedList)
            slCart.Add(pid, "1")
            Response.Redirect("~/testing.aspx")
        Else
            Dim slCart As New SortedList

            slCart.Add(pid, "1")
            Session("cart") = slCart '<-- Missing this line
            Response.Redirect("~/testing.aspx")

        End If

        Return Nothing
    End Function

To further enhance the mechanics of your page logic and to work with good coding practice, is to define your session cart variable as a class member:

VB

Private Property cart() As SortedList
       Get
           If Session("cart") Is Nothing Then
               Session("cart") = New SortedList
           End If
           Return Session("cart")
       End Get
       Set(ByVal value As SortedList)
           Session("cart") = value
       End Set
   End Property
