I've been assigned the task of quickly converting a ton of old ASP apps to INLINE Aspx.net apps. The conversion was going smoothly till I ran into a snag with session variables. They work perfectly in the old ASP app, and they also work perfectly on my developer
version of IIS at home, but they don't work on our server farm at work running IIS 7.
Really simple example:
Page1.aspx
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<%@ Page Language="VB" Debug="true" Strict="false" AspCompat="true" EnableViewState="true"%>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Web.Configuration" %>
<%
Session("junk") = "HELLO THERE"
response.write ("session variable set to " & Session("junk"))
%>
----------------------------------
Outputs "session variable set to HELLO THERE" on my IIS at home and at work
------------------------------------
After setting the session variable by running page1.aspx I now run this page:
Page2.aspx
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<%@ Page Language="VB" Debug="true" Strict="false" AspCompat="true" EnableViewState="true"%>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Web.Configuration" %>
<%
response.write("The session variable is still " & Session("junk"))
%>
-------------------------------------
This works on my IIS at home but not at work.
Here's the web config. Note: None of my inline Aspx.net apps are using a code behind but are reading from a web.config.
Here's the web.config:
-------------------------------------
<configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="tablestuff" value="180.00|160.00|140.00|120.00|100.00|80.00|60.00|40.00|20.00#"/>
</appSettings>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
<compilation debug="true"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>
What could cause it not to pass the session variable from page1.aspx to page2.aspx? Am I not calling something right? Could it be the browser not allowing cookies?
