ASP.net VB.net Using the variable for an API elsewhere on the page

Hi

I am using the following VB.net code to connect to the Xero API in my web page. I also want to be use the "myxeroapi" variable on a button click

on the page. Do I use session variables? If so what would the code look like?

    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
        Dim myxeroapi As XeroCoreApi
        If IsPostBack = False Then
            'SO PAGE LOADS TWICE
            If Request.QueryString("oauth_verifier") Is Nothing Then
                'FIRST LOAD ALLOWS YOU TO AUTH IN
                myxeroapi = XeroAuthenticate(Me, False, "")
            Else
                'SECOND LOAD LET'S YOU DO SOMETHING
                myxeroapi = XeroAuthenticate(Me, True, "")
                If Not myxeroapi Is Nothing Then

                    Dim i As Integer = myxeroapi.Contacts.Find.Count 'Quick Test

                    Call oCreateInvoice(myxeroapi)

                End If
            End If
        End If
    End Sub

first, you are calling the xero api, you got to check what is being returned from its documentation when a method is being called.

second, why you are concern about the session variable here? do you need someone to logged in before the calling or you wish to pass session variable to xero api?
