Session state

   Hi guys,

I am trying to use the session state in an applicaton. But the problem is that when I try to do 

Private Host As String = Session("Server")

I get the following error:

Session state can only be used when enableSessionState is set to true, either 
in a configuration file or in the Page directive

So then I changed the session region of my web.config from:

<sessionState

         &nbs p;  mode="InProc"

         &nbs p;  stateConnectionString="tcpip=127.0.0.1:42424"

         &nbs p; 
sqlConnectionString="data source=127.0.0.1;Trusted_Connection=yes"

         &nbs p;  cookieless="true" 

         &nbs p;  timeout="20"

    />

To:

<sessionState

            enableSessionState="true"

         &nbs p;  mode="InProc"

         &nbs p;  stateConnectionString="tcpip=127.0.0.1:42424"

         &nbs p; 
sqlConnectionString="data source=127.0.0.1;Trusted_Connection=yes"

         &nbs p;  cookieless="true" 

         &nbs p;  timeout="20"

    />

But then I get the following error:

Configuration Error Description: 
An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to 
service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify 
your configuration file appropriately. 

Parser Error Message: 
Unrecognized attribute 'enableSessionState'.

Source Error:

Line 71:     -->
Line 72:     <sessionState
Line 73: 			enableSessionState="true"
Line 74:             mode="InProc"

Can anyone shine some light on the subject? Thanks, Mart.
