Using session variables in .cs file

[dana lees]

Hello,

I am using session variables in a cs class file. I am inserting a sortedList
to a session variable like this:

System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Session["EventsList"] = EventsSortedList;

Later on, when i want to use this value by:

EventsSortedList =
(SortedList)System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Session["EventsList"];

i get an error "Specified cast is not valid". When debugging i see that the
value entered to the session is a string and not a sortedArray.

What am i doing wrong?

Thanks,

Dana

See if you didn't accidentally also use "EventsList" to store some
string (what is the string - it might give you a hint).
It *should* work the way you used it.
