Transfering a CFML session variable to an ASP.Net Page

[mactech999]

I have a login page that was created with coldfusion. This page links to an ASPX page what i would like to happen is when the client logs in the userID is carried over to the Asp.net page.

the variable in CFML is a Session Variable.

any ideas??

Not guaranteed, but you can try passing it in the URL: abc.aspx?userId=#session.userId#

Sounds like you forgot a cfoutput tag in your cold fusion page.

here is my code

<a href=" http://localhost/Online1/Default.aspx?recordid=#Recordset1.CustNo#"><font color="#0000FF">Online Ordering</font></a></strong></td>

Dan was right, looks like you're missing <cfoutput> tags around your variable. Try this:

There shouldn't be # signs. You want to transfer the value of #Recordset1.CustNo# not the literal string itself. So yes, use <cfoutput> tags around the variable.

I probably wouldn't use it for an auto-login mechanism, but yes, you can pass userID value to the .net page in the url.

would you guys know how to call the value from the URL once i have it in aspx page?

Look into asp's Request.QueryString
