Why am I losing my session variable value

I'm trying to retrieve a session variable value after a call to something like:

string myUrl = "http://localhost:59380/RepoEvalPrintPDF.aspx";

But I'm losing the value, can anyone tell me why and or how to fix this? I've used session variables in the past with no problem, but maybe not when I make this kind of call after setting the value. Any help would be appreciated.

where is the code to store it into session?

session["myUrl"] = "http://localhost:59380/RepoEvalPrintPDF.aspx";

then use it by session["myUrl"]

Huseyin:

This is what my code looks like now:

Session["AppraisalNum"] = lblApprNum.Text;

string myUrl = "http://localhost:59380/RepoEvalPrintPDF.aspx";

However, when I get to the RepoEvalPrintPDF.aspx page, my session variable's values is gone.

However, when I get to the RepoEvalPrintPDF.aspx page, my session variable's values is gone.

how do you use it?

you should just use this any time...

Session["AppraisalNum"]

HainKurt

whats the purpose of this code?

string myUrl = "http://localhost:59380/RepoEvalPrintPDF.aspx";

Open in new window

it is not stored in session and it is not used...
why you keep posting this line? I am confused...

string myLocalVar = Session["AppraisalNum"].ToString()

That's how I use it, but the value is gone/null.

That line is for use within a document convterter tool that I'm using

this is the full method

        

Session["AppraisalNum"] = lblApprNum.Text;

        string myUrl = "http://localhost:59380/RepoEvalPrintPDF.aspx?reaprno=999999";
        Neevia.docConverter DC = new Neevia.docConverter();                             //
        string docID = "RepoEvaluationReport" + ".url";

        string strCheckStatPage = "";

        DC.setParameter("DocumentOutputFormat", "PDF");

        DC.setParameter("DocumentOutputFolder", Server.MapPath("."));

        DC.setParameter("PDFAutoRotatePage", "All");

        int rVal;
        rVal = DC.submitURL(myUrl, docID, "");
        if (rVal != 0) Response.Redirect("error.aspx?" + rVal);

        strCheckStatPage = "checkStatus.aspx?docid=" + docID;

        Response.Write("<script>");
        Response.Write("window.open('" + strCheckStatPage + "','_blank')");
        Response.Write("</script>");

Open in new window

line 3, you assign it...
where do you use it?

also, why your link is like "http://localhost:59380"

what happens if you use
string myUrl = "/RepoEvalPrintPDF.aspx?reaprno=999999";

I attempt to use it in the Page_Load event of my RepoEvalPrintPDF.aspx page. If I use "/RepoEvalPrintPDF.aspx?reaprno=999999";
