    Getting a session variable set in XSLT

    Hi guys,

    I have the folowing XSLT file which works great in getting back the session in other XSLT files:

    <xsl:variable name="dlang">
      <xsl:choose>
        <xsl:when test="umbraco.library:RequestQueryString('lang') != '' ">
            <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:RequestQueryString('lang')" />
        </xsl:when>
        <xsl:when test="umbraco.library:Session('lang') != ''">
            <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:Session('lang')" />
        </xsl:when>
        <xsl:otherwise>
            <xsl:value-of select="$initlang" />
        </xsl:otherwise>
      </xsl:choose>
    </xsl:variable>

    <xsl:variable name="flang">
        <xsl:if test="$dlang != '' and $dlang != $initlang ">
            <xsl:value-of select="concat('_',$dlang)" />
        </xsl:if>
    </xsl:variable>

    <xsl:template name="setlang">
        <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:setSession('lang',$dlang) " />
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="/">
        <xsl:call-template name="setlang" />
        <xsl:value-of select = "$flang" />
    </xsl:template>

     

    However when I try and get the session in code eg:

    umbraco.library.Session("lang")

    Nothing is returned :-S

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks

    Hi Scott, 

    See if something is causing an app pool recycling. If this is happening your session vars are getting lost. I had a similar problem with memory caching.

    Hi Dimitris,

    Its strange though that I can get the session in other XSL files :-S

    Maybe I am missing some using statements?

    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Linq;
    using System.Web;
    using System.Web.UI;
    using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
    using umbraco.presentation.nodeFactory;
    using System.Data;
    using System.Collections;
    using System.Web.SessionState;

     

    And then all I do in the page load is - Response.Write(umbraco.library.Session("lang").ToString());

    But nothing is returned :(

    Thanks

    Hi Scott, is the page with this code opening in a popup windows, or is it switching from http to https?

    Hi Tim,

    "Hi Scott, is the page with this code opening in a popup windows, or is it switching from http to https?" - Neither of these things are happening.

    Thanks

    Hi Scott,

    I believe you can just use the standard .NET Session method

    Session["lang"].ToString();

    As the reference to umbraco.library:SetSession() is really just used to set and retireve the session in the XSLT's
