[RESOLVED]webpages – clickable webgrid rows to session variable

HTML, Web Forms,

In my web grids I have clickable rows that redirect to a different page while sending the id of the record along as Url Data

How does one store the id in a session variable??

$(document).ready(function () {

        $('.trclk').on('click', function () {

            location.href = '@Href("~/Members/NewFV/")' + $(this).parents('tr').find('td:first').text();
        });

You can’t create session variables using JavaScript, so you need to add an extra command in the click handler that calls a server-side page which sets the session variable.

$(document).ready(function () {
    $('.trclk').on('click', function () {
        $.get('/yourSessionSettingPage/' + + $(this).parents('tr').find('td:first').text();
        location.href = '@Href("~/Members/NewFV/")';
});

Your SessionSettingPage will contain something like this:

@{
    var id = UrlData[0];
    Session["SomeName"] = id;
}

That’s it. You should be able to get the value of Session["SomeName"] in NewFV.cshtml. 

Suppose the session variable already exists?

I create all the session variables I need when a new session starts. Storing data as I go along, and retrieving what I need when the time comes.

Is that a good approach?

Then you will reset its value.

If it works for you, then why not. Personally, I don’t use session variables in this way. There doesn’t seem to be much point. I just use UrlData or querystrings.
