ASP.NET in a Nutshell

Name

Count

Synopsis

Integer = Session.Count

Returns an Integer containing the number of items currently in the Session collection.

Parameters

Integer

An Integer variable that will receive the count property value.

Example

The example adds two values to the Session collection, displays the count of the items in the Session collection, and then displays each item, using the Count property as a looping control value:

Sub Page_Load(  )
   Session("foo") = "Hello, "
   Session("bar") = "World!"
   Message.Text = "The Session collection contains " & _
         Session.Count & " items.</br>"
      Dim I as Integer
      For I = 0 To Session.Count - 1
         Message.Text &= CStr(Session(I)) & "</br>"
      Next
End Sub

Notes

The Count property is new for ASP.NET. In addition to using the Count property for looping through the Session collection, you can use the property to keep track of how many items a given Session stores at any given time. For example, you could write this information to a log for later review.
