Yeah, but can't you either cache it (using the SessionID) or just put it in the session?

Yes you could use cache, heres an example:



Dim example(1) As String


example(0) = "Hello"
example(1) = "Hi"



'Add Item to cache
Cache.Insert("Example", Source, New CacheDependency(example))


'Read from cache
Dim example As String = Cache("Example")

Thank you everyone for the responses. I didn't get a chance to read them over the weekend.

I have never used the cache feature, but it sounds pretty cool.  Is this information stored server side or client side, and are there any benefits to using cache as opposed to a session variable?

To answer the question about information being stored, the application is basically one that that is used by hotline staff who take calls/complainants. The one type of object (project), contains all the information about the complainant itself. There is only one of this type of object per case. The other type of object (entity) contains ionformation about a person or a company. There can actually be up to 3 of this these per call. The complainant, the caller (if its not the same as the complainant, and the target of the complaint.

Cache is server side ofcourse  I think cache might rescue you here. Google around abit and find some tutorials on it.

Well obviously by its name cache is stored on the servers memory for quick access so it might be better to use cache. You can store anything in them just like in a session but there quicker. If you store loads of stuff in there (like a dataset containing a 6mb access database) and store it for every user on your site and you have lots of users your server wont be a happy bunny this christmas. But it will have the same effect with a session object. Anyhow point is dontn store lots of info in cache. Btw heres the microsoft tutorial about it.

Thanks, I'll check out the tutorial on caching.

Storing my objects to a session variable worked like a charm. The only problem is that I can't seem to access the properties of my objects directly from the session variable and have to assign the objects stored in the session variable to objects each time I want to read or modify the properties.

Is there an easier way to do this? I feel like maybe I am missing something.
