Session Arrays

[Bahman]

Hello!

I have a simple question.

Do we have session arrays that we can reference, assign, or select from?

Could I please have a sample of how this is done. The obvious syntax that I
am trying doesn't work. There are SA's in VB, but I am not seeing anything
for C#.

Thank you!

Re: Session Arrays

Not sure if you are talking about the Session object. If so, in C#, we use
square brackets ([]) to access the session collection as in
Session["mykey"].

Re: Session Arrays

Perhaps if you showed us what syntax you were using that doesn't work, we
could be of more help.

I'm not sure what you mean by "session arrays"

In ASP.Net you have a session which you can access in c# such as:

Session["SomeUserId "] = 1;

Re: Session Arrays

Karl,

In VB, you can say

session("array" ) (1) = "1"
session("array" ) (2) = "2"

In other words, the session object can be assigned a type other than the
basic types of numbers and strings, in this case an array.

I wonder if that can be done in c#. Obviously, I wouldn't know how to define
it since we don't explicity define session objects, I would think.

The syntax wouldn't need to be the same. For example, if I could create an
array, assign it to some kind of session object, create another array, and
assing the session object back to the other array, that would work too. I
wouldn't need the session variable itself to work like an array. But it would
be nice.

Also, all I am trying to do is use the array on a different page. If I can
make the array somehow persistent in some other way, that would be very ok as
well.

Re: Session Arrays

The only reason VB let's you do that, is because you have Option Strict Off.
Turn it on, and you will get a compile time error.

Always use option strict On, when you are using VB.

In either case (VB with option strict on, or C#), you need to case
session("array" ) to an array of whatever type is appropriate, and only then
can you access a particular item in the array.

Re: Session Arrays

Marina,

This is outstanding.

I only have one question for you.

How do I 'case' a session variable to become an array in c#?

Could you please point me to a page or site with samples or definitions?

Thank you very much for your help!
