Losing Session btwn ASP and ASP.NET

topic posted Tue, July 13, 2004 - 12:30 PM by  James
I have a site that i was assigned to that has a subfolder in the root that handles the log in content management functions that is done in asp. The rest of the site is in aspx and it works together. The only problem is that when another person attempts to log on the session or the application enters another subfolder in the root, the session is ended and the user is asked to log in again. There is not global.asa file and the global.asax file doesn't capture the login done in asp in the subfolder level. Having jumped ship from novice asp r to novice asp.net early on in my learning I'm not sure what is going on or even how to debug. The client doen't want to have the asp pages rewritten because my contractor has pushed that into a later phase, but both of them want it to work last week..argh! Any ideas out there? I've read so many things that I'm not sure what is right...some sites say yes asp.net and asp can share session information, or at least aspx has backwards compatibility, other sources say absolutely not with out moving info to the database (requiring rewrite of the asp pages) or creating some transaction routine (time out of my pocket). I also think it may have something to do with the boundries (ie application and its subfolders in IIS) of the main app. Please I need a glimmer of hope on the subject before I decide to go back and wait tables to get through school. thanks ahead of time.
