    Hi

    I have a problem with some of my session variables

    Can you please tell me what is the best way to know if the session has any value in it or it is empty?

    I cannot find something like

    If IsNothing(Session("myVar")) then
    ...
    End if


    Please help
    Sri

    depends what you store in it, they're not strongly typed. So for strings initialise to "" for numerics "-1" or something like that

    oh, that's with asp.net ... unsure of if it works with classic. but with asp classic you should just be able to do:
    If Session("myvar") <> "" Then ...
