Notes

As with the Request and Response properties, while you can retrieve a local refer-

ence to the HttpServerUtility instance associated with the application, it is more

common to access this instance directly through the Server property, as shown in

this example.

Session

HttpSessionState = Page.Session

Returns an object that represents the current user session. A Session object is

maintained for each user that requests a page from an ASP.NET application. You

can store session-specific data in the Session object and then access it across

multiple pages in an ASP.NET application. For more information on the

HttpSessionState class, see Chapter 19.

Parameter

HttpSessionState

An HttpSessionState object that represents the current user session.

Example

The example uses the Session object to display the value of the Mode property,

which indicates where session state information is stored:

Sub Page_Load( )

Message.Text = "Current Session State Mode: " &_

Session.Mode.ToString( )

End Sub

Notes

As with the Request and Response properties, while you can retrieve a local refer-

ence to the HttpSessionState instance associated with the request, it is more

common to access this instance directly through the Session property, as shown in
