Session Variables

Session variables allow values to persist across multiple pages during a user's session. They are declared using Session("variable") and can be accessed on subsequent pages during that session. Variables are destroyed when the session ends, such as when the browser is closed. This document discusses declaring, accessing, checking if, and destroying session variables in ASP.

Session Variables :

The variables which we have used till now are considered


as local variables , they will get declared
each time ,we load the asp page containing those
variables.
Sometimes we require some global variables , which once
declared should exists or accessable till the entire session.
Session is the duration during which client is in contact
with the server.
Here,in our case session will continue as long as we not
close the Internet Explorer window.

Decalaring the Session variables:


==========================

To declare the session variable,the general form is ,

Session("VARIABLE NAME")=expression

e.g.
Session("COUNT")="1"

Accessing the value of the session variable


===============================
To access the value of the session variable , we will
simply use,
Session("variable name")
e.g.
Response.Write(Session("COUNT"))

Checking the Existance of a session variable


===================================
isEmpty( ) function is used for checking the existance of
a variable.This function will return true if the variable
contains null or in other words it doesnot exists and it
returns false if it exists.

The general form is ,


isEmpty(variablename)

e.g.
isEmpty(Session("COUNT"))

If it returns true then the session variable COUNT


doesnot exists.

Destorying the Session variable


=======================
To destroy the Session variable ,we can use on of the
following statements,

(i) Set Session("variablename")=Nothing

(ii) Set Session("variablename")=null


(iii) Session("variablename")=""
