[Rana Muhammad Javed Khan]

I am using WebRequest to Get the HTML of specific URL(of same application) which works fine but not the session variables are not being sent. If any one has used this please let me know?:zzz:

I am using WebRequest and here is the code: Dim _WebReq As WebRequest Dim _WebResp As WebResponse Dim _StreamReader As StreamReader Dim strHTML As String _WebReq = _WebReq.Create(strURL) _WebResp = _WebReq.GetResponse _StreamReader = New StreamReader(_WebResp.GetResponseStream) GetHTMLStream = _StreamReader.ReadToEnd Thanks

Why don't you use Http Web Request using that u can set and get cookies also HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(args[0]); request.CookieContainer = new CookieContainer(); HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse) request.GetResponse(); // Print the properties of each cookie. foreach (Cookie cook in response.Cookies) { Console.WriteLine("Cookie:"); Console.WriteLine("{0} = {1}", cook.Name, cook.Value); Console.WriteLine("Domain: {0}", cook.Domain); Console.WriteLine("Path: {0}", cook.Path); Console.WriteLine("Port: {0}", cook.Port); Console.WriteLine("Secure: {0}", cook.Secure); Console.WriteLine("When issued: {0}", cook.TimeStamp); Console.WriteLine("Expires: {0} (expired? {1})", cook.Expires, cook.Expired); Console.WriteLine("Don't save: {0}", cook.Discard); Console.WriteLine("Comment: {0}", cook.Comment); Console.WriteLine("Uri for comments: {0}", cook.CommentUri); Console.WriteLine("Version: RFC {0}" , cook.Version == 1 ? "2109" : "2965"); // Show the string representation of the cookie. Console.WriteLine ("String: {0}", cook.ToString()); }

I have removed this but still session values are not being used by HTTPWebRequest :(.

[Sandeep Akhare]

I am still asking you what you want to do ? As session varaibles are store at the server side you can't get them using response .. How can you read the session varaibles ? You can read cookies are those are store at the client side

Sorry for confussion!!! let me explain it to u! Let suppose i have URL = "http://www.some.com" Now in it i have a Grid which depends on some session variables. Now when i use Response.Redirect(URL) the grid reterives the data on the basis of session variables. but when i use HTTPWebRequest to get the HTML which is generated for that URL grid doesn't reterives session values. I have to get the execute the URL on the Server and Get the Generated HTML. Hope u will got it!!!

[Sandeep Akhare]

Sorry but i think you can't do that as Session is store at server side you are accessing the aaplication from the URL Why don't you use query string instead of session varaibles to retrive the data. As per my understanding there is one application that have one url After user enters into website Server side session are get created and store Using this Session values data is coming in Datagrid .
