Hi all.
I have a problem.

Im setting a session variable and then redirecting to a virual directory.

I can't see the session variable in the virtual directory however,

I can see the session variable in the root directory or others that are no0t virtual

Could some one please explain why thi smight be as it is a real pain.

cheers

Steve

I think it's because the virtual directory is set up as a different application to the one you're redirecting from. Since session data is stored on a per-application basis, you can't access one application's session data from another one.

Try setting the Application Name of the virtual directory in IIS to the same as the one you're calling from (That is, if they are both logically the same application) and restart IIS.

Otherwise, find some other way of transfering the data (Query string, post data, cookie...)

great thankyou. In lamen terms as not entirely sure what is going on, I have changed my previously defined VIRTUAL directory to a APPLICATION in IIS.
All seems to be working fine now.
thank you
