Using Session State in Public Class in ASP.NET?
- by davemackey
I'm trying to move some reusable portions of code into a class. This is working okay except when I attempt to use Session within this class. I get an error:
"Cannot refer to an instance member of a class from within a shared method or shared member initializer without an explicit instance of the class."
My code looks something like this:
Public Class webHousing
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Public Sub GetUserInfo()
Dim x as String
x = 10
Session("x")= x
End Sub
End Class
I've simplified this code significantly - but the basic problem is present - trying to set a session value from within a class. I found the following MSDN article1 but don't believe Public/Shared can be used on Session?
