Hi people I am trying to carry a session variable for my login control which i am using to pass to pass to another page and display their details. I am using the aspNetDB. My username has been set to an integer as is connected to another database table displaying the users details below is my code:
Protected Sub Login1_LoggingIn(sender As Object, e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.LoginCancelEventArgs) Handles Login1.LoggingIn
Session("StaffNo") = Login1.UserName()
End Sub
The code is then being sent to my other page to display their details when loaded on a data grid but the session does not seem to be carrying:
Protected Sub Page_Load(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Try
Dim Staff As String = CType(Session.Item("StaffNo"), String)
Dim conn As SqlConnection
Dim cmd As SqlCommand
Dim cmdstring As String = "SELECT * FROM [User] WHERE studentnum = @StaffNo"
conn = New SqlConnection("Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\Database.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True")
cmd = New SqlCommand(cmdstring, conn)
cmd.Parameters.Add("@StaffNo", SqlDbType.Char).Value = Staff
conn.Open()
Dim myReader As SqlDataReader
myReader = cmd.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection)
GridView1.DataSource = myReader
GridView1.DataBind()
conn.Close()
Catch ex As Exception
Response.Write("An error has occurred")
End Try
End Sub
