Session.Contents Collection

The Session.Contents collection contains all of the items that have been established for a session without using the <OBJECT> tag. The collection can be used to determine the value of a specific session item, or to iterate through the collection and retrieve a list of all items in the session.

Syntax

Session.Contents( Key)

Parameters

Key

The name of the property to retrieve.

Remarks

You can use an iterating control structure to loop through the keys of the Contents collection, as demonstrated in the following example:

<%@ LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" %>

<%

  Dim sessitem

  Dim anArray(2)

  response.write "SessionID: " & Session.SessionID & "<P>"



  anArray(0)="one"

  anArray(1)="second"

  anArray(2)="third"

  Session("anArray")=anArray

  Session("scalar")="1234567890ABCDEFG"



  set objConn=server.createobject("adodb.connection")

  set Session("object")=objConn



  response.write "List of " & Session.Contents.Count & " items in Session

  contents collection:<HR>"

  For Each sessitem in Session.Contents

    If IsObject(Session.Contents(sessitem)) Then

      Response.write(sessitem & " : Session object cannot be displayed." & "<BR>")

    Else

      If IsArray(Session.Contents(sessitem)) Then

         Response.write "Array named " & Session.Content(sessitem) & "<ol>"

         For each objArray in Session.Contents(sessitem)

             Response.write "<li>" & _

             Session.Contents(sessitem)(objArray)& "<BR>"

         Next

             Response.write "</ol>"

      Else

             Response.write(sessitem & " : " & Session.Contents(sessitem) & "<BR>")

       End If

    End If

  Next
