Session Variables - not there when new page in app opens?

[Kathy Burke]

I thought I had made real headway in understanding the server/client
stuff in asp.net.

In main.aspx page, I use a Response.Write to page2.aspx to a target
frame. I have several session variables that I set in main.aspx.

When page2.aspx loads, the variables are not there. The only way I know
that is because I assign their values to labels on page load. I've also
tried "submitting" the form back to itself, but that doesn't grab the
session variables either. Both pages are within a mainframe.aspx page.

I'm setting the variables immediately before using them in vs.net debug
mode, etc.

How would I even figure out how to trace this. Any clues welcome.

thanks,

Kathy

Thanks for reply...

I don't think I can use server.transfer(?) because I need to set a
target frame for the page.

I have mainframe.aspx, within that
leftframe, src=main.aspx
rightframe, src=test.aspx

From main.aspx I set session variables. Theoretically, shouldn't they be
available from anywhere within the mainframe.aspx? When I do a
response.write from main.aspx to load test.aspx into right frame, but
staying within the mainframe.aspx they disappear. Additional explanation
would be welcome.

thanks.
