Passing A Session Variable Form Page to Page ~ No Working

Hi All,

I am trying to passing a session variable from Page to Page but its not working!

the user basicaly logins in on the login.aspx and when their credentials are verifed by the MSSAccess database they are tehn redirected to the next page...heres a snip of code

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
session("ID") = dslogin.tables("UserInfo").rows(0).item("ID")

response.redirect("./success.aspx")
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Heres the code for the page I am trying to access after beigng verifed

~~~~~~~~~~
sub page_load(byval sender as object, byval e as eventargs)

if Len(Session("ID")) = 0 then

response.redirect("./login.aspx")

end if
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

wots happeniong is even if you use the correct userid and password the code on the second page still sends you back to the login.aspx???

Can anyone please shine a light on this as I am going around in circles...

many thanks

Tony

Compiler Error Message: BC30545: Property access must assign to the property or use its value.

Source Error:

Line 8:
Line 9: request.querystring("UserID")
Line 10:
Line 11: if Len(Session("UserID")) = 0 then

You have to assign a variable to store the QueryString data, like:

dim foo as string = request.querystring("bar")

Are you using VS.NET and developing this app locally? If so you can just add a breakpoint to a line of code by pressing f9 and when that line is met, you can step through the code and hover you mouse over variables to see what they contain, or add them to the watch list.
