I am storing some information in a Session variable. I have a Structure that contains a number of separate items including login data and shopping basket data. At the end of the Page_LoadComplete event I store the structure as follows:
Current.Session("SessionPool") = Spl
And I retrieve it at the start of the Page_Load event as follows:
Spl = Current.Session("SessionPool")
Throughout my logic I refer to items within the structure such as spl.loginrow (a datarow) and spl.basket (a datatable).
I am testing the (remote) web site from two independent PCs. I change the quantity of items for one line in the shopping basket on one PC then, on the other PC, I refresh the basket and, hey presto, it reflects changes I have made on the first PC.
This suggests to me that the session variable is being shared across all sessions somehow - i.e. it is being managed at an application level. Does this make any sense? Any suggestions about what kind of dumb mistake I could have made here?
Thanks for the replies. It is declared (in a module) like this
Public Structure SessionPool
Public RowLogin As DataRow
Public TblBsk As DataTable
Public BskStatus As BasketStatus
Public Administrator As Boolean
Public AdminUser As String
End Structure
Public Spl As SessionPool
If I define, retrieve and update the structure within master page code behind then pass the structure as a parameter ByRef through to the routines in the module, is that a possible solution?
I bit the bullet and removed all my modules. I'm not happy with my final solution which effectively resulted in me putting lots of code that I felt logically belonged in separate files in a single code-behind module but it was the quickest solution and I
am under some time pressure. I hope to come back to it at some tage and implement a more elegant solution.

How is Spl defined? Is it shared? I.e. is the Loginrow or basket table created as shared?

Thanks for the replies. It is declared (in a module) like this
Public Structure SessionPool Public RowLogin As DataRow Public TblBsk As DataTable Public BskStatus As BasketStatus Public Administrator As Boolean Public AdminUser As String End Structure Public Spl As SessionPoolso it's not explicitly shared. Any thoughts?

Hi,
May be the structure is inside a static class, like the below code,
public static class DataHandler { public struct MyStruct { public string name; } }If yes, then that is the problem causing you.
Hope it helps u...

Thanks. It's inside a module:
Is that OK?

Modules counterparts tostaticclasses.When your class is designed solely for helper functions.you define it as Module
You cannot have variables or objects that changes per user....

Thanks. Oh dear!
If I define, retrieve and update the structure within master page code behind then pass the structure as a parameter ByRef through to the routines in the module, is that a possible solution?

Sorry smcoxon, I was replying to previous post. I had considered the 'new' approach. I will try.
