Hello,
I have to make a product detail page(as a demo) in asp.net for a coldfusion application.
Is there a good example of passing/sharing session,cookies query string e.t.c data from coldfusion to asp.net and then asp.net to coldfusion.
Please provide a lik for working example(not articles)

The only way to share session variables between ASP.NET and ColdFusion (CFML) is to use BlueDragon.NET from New Atlanta:

http://www.newatlanta.com/products/bluedragon/index.cfm

Look at Chapter 3 of this document, entitled "Sharing Variables between CFML and ASP.NET" for example code:

ftp://ftp.newatlanta.com/public/bluedragon/6_2_1/docs/BlueDragon_621_Integrating_CFML_with_ASPNET.pdf

A copy of that document is also included when you install BlueDragon.NET.

OK.

Is there a working example way to pass session and cookies information from asp.net to coldfusion and then coldfusion to asp.net.(not sharing LIKE technique of passing information from asp to asp.net and then asp.net to asp).

I can't install any other thing there is a live application in between which I have to put an asp.net page which depends on the information(that is cookies,session,e.t.c. data) values pass from coldfusion page to asp.net page then asp.net page to coldfusion.

You might be able to use cookies, but that would limit you to simple string values and other limitations of cookies. I'm not aware of any code examples demonstrating this.

A cookie is a cookie, and provided it's the same domain you should be able to read or set a cookie from any of the technologies that use cookies.  It would be simple enough to test, set a cookie in a test ASPX page and see if you can read it in a Cold Fusion page.

Thanks for suggestion but I have already done that but I always get html character included in the cookie

e.g my cookie in cold fusion page value is Kamran Shahid

I get Kamran%20Shahid in asp.net page

I have try all server.htmlencode,server.htmldecode,server.uRlencode e.t.c.

I don't want to do like str.replace stuff.

Also how could i transfer values in session collection from coldfusion to asp.net and then asp.net to coldfusion.I am sure it could be done But can't able to search it(as I know it is done in asp to asp.net and vice versaa)

Please help

 

As far as I know you can not share session information between coldfusion and asp.net.  I can't imagine they would be able to easily access each others memory space, let alone decrypt it (depending on where it is stored).  Stick with either using cookies or sharing a database.  You'll get it.

Stephen's right: you can't share sessions between CF and ASP.NET, but as Vince pointed out above, you can share sessions between your CFML code and ASP.NET if you run that CFML code using BlueDragon, an alternative CFML engine from New Atlanta. The BD.NET edition runs CFML natively on .NET and can not only share sessions but also permits includes back and forth between CFML and ASP.NET, the ability to call .NET classes from CFML using CFObject/CreateObject, the ability to call CFCs from ASP.NET (the latter two are NOT using web services), and much more.

We just point these things out because the common conception (as Stephen noted) is that "CF can't integrate with .NET (other than via web services)". While CF (the engine) can't, CFML (your code) can, if you install BD.NET. It's a native extension to .NET (an httpHandler). More details at the site and in the associated docs.

Just to help anyone out who might be facing this problem, I recommend using URL encoded variables to pass the info...assuming you don't have to worry about security (ie, you're just passing an email address or whatever).  for instance, if I wanted to pass some URL variables to a ASP file, I might use something like this at the end of my coldfusion form

 
<cflocation url="thankyou_m.asp?email=#form.email#&first=#form.first#" > 

 

Then, on thankyou_m.asp I would request("email") and request("first") to grab the variables.  Not elegant, but it works.

Is there any others idea how to sharing/passing data between coldfusion and asp.net without using BlueDragon? or not using URL encoded.

Because i need to think about security.

 You might try cookie.

 If user arrives at a page in ASP.NET, it should be possible for the ASP.NET page to screen scrape the infromation from cold fusion and present it to the user.

If you need screen scrape code, please go the the CommonData project at http://www.CodePlex.Com/CommonData

 Hi i m working on same application screen scrap in .NET of coldfusion website but some how i m getting an issue.. i try to use you link but it doesnt work..http://www.CodePlex.Com/CommonData

Can you please send me a working URL link so i can review a code..

 

Thanks..

Arrrgh... the dreaded trailing space struck again - try http://www.codeplex.com/CommonData

It can be done. Just as all-star said a cookie is a cookie.  We are doing it at TheJobFool.com
