Saving Objects in Session variables

Author	Message
Shaw #1 / 6	Saving Objects in Session variables What is the syntax for putting an Object in a Session variable then taking the object out? Do I need a SET in all cases or what? Is this correct: Set Session("MyObject") = MyObject Set MyObject = Session("MyObject") Or is this: Session("MyObject") = MyObject Set MyObject = Session("MyObject")

Shaw #2 / 6	Saving Objects in Session variables I forgot to mention that these are user-defined objects.

You really should not store objects in session variables as there is no way to guarantee their termination. You can set them to nothing in the Session end event, but that event does not fire 100% of the time (though I have found in my apps that it is pretty close to 100%.) * Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com * Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!

Shaw #5 / 6	Saving Objects in Session variables How else can I save the state of complicated variable structures? Quote: >-----Original Message----- >Message unavailable

Serialize them to some text form which can be saved in Session/Application scope and later deserialized back to an object instance. XML would be my choice. In fact, you can even use an Msxml2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument instance at Session/Application scope. All of this assumes you have data only object instances (i.e., no object methods). -- Michael Harris Microsoft.MVP.Scripting Seattle WA US --
