Question

We’re spawning URLs in Excel projects tied to a specific project number.
Our main page Project.aspx is loading up the session variable ID to show the right values on the webpage.

So here’s a concrete example of what we’d like to do:

The user clicks a link in an excel spreadsheet i.e.:
…/ProjectID=?12345

The website code behind checks the ID and assigns it to the session
variable and then loads up our main page, Project.aspx

How can I achieve that ?

Thank you.

Answer 1

If all you’re trying to do is save a query string value to the session state, then this might help:

Session["ProjectID"] = Request.QueryString["ProjectID"];

Note that you have a syntax error in your example, though…

.../ProjectID=?12345

should probably be:

.../?ProjectID=12345
