How to transfer variable from C# aspx page to the VBS asp page

[abadona]

Hi, I am using C# .aspx page to authenticate a user in AD environment. Then if the login is successful the user is redirected to the .asp VB script located at the same directory. The question that I want to ask is how do I transfer a variable Username to the VB script.

In the previous iteration the VB script was using Windows authentication, to check the user. And I was asked to move everything to the form authentication. I have no problem with authentication I just need to find a way of how to get a variable across. I feel as if it something simple and banal but, my experience of asp/aspx is shady.

The help will be greatly appreciated.

Can you pass the UserName variable in a querystring to your asp page?

I tried doing this:
Context.Items["MyVar"]=txtUser.Text;

and in asp page:

strFinalName = Session("MyVar" )

to replace this:

strFinalName = Request.ServerV ariables("AUTH_ USER") (my aspx page is handeling the authentication with forms methods, then redirects to asp page)

It is very difficult to pass a Session value from a .NET application to an asp page. It would be much less work to pass the value as a querystring and access it in the asp page with

Request.Queryst ring

This is good, but I need to hide the varible from users.
