need working example of how to share “session” data between two .net 2.0 web applications running on the same domain

Question

i would like a working example, that uses a asp.net session state server, to share a session variable between two .net 2.0 web applications both running on the same domain, just in different folders ( same parent folder)

directory structure:

parent site: [localhost/testSite] web app 1 site: [localhost/testSite/webapp1] web app 2 site: [localhost/testSite/webapp2]

web app 1 site sets a Session variable ("myVarImSetting") web app 2 site gets a Session variable ("myVarImSetting")

after the project is compiled, run web app 1 first, to set the variable, then while its still open, browse to web app 2 page, and display the value stored in Session(myVarImSetting")

this should work, there should be a way of doing this, im told there is, but no one has offered any proof, and a working demo for .net 2.0 framework, using asp.net state server.

Answer 1

Here is an article with code sample.

Answer 2

Can you use Application variables for this?

Application("myVarImSetting") = 5;
int mySetting = (int)Application("myVarImSetting");
