How to use Session variables asp.net c#

Question

I cant seem to pass my variable through to the next page. Can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong?

var finalValue = value * sqlCouponValue;
finalValue = Math.Round(finalValue, 2);
Session["discountedOrderTotal"] = finalValue.ToString();

where i am trying to call it again on the next page:

e.Row.Cells[4].Text = "$" + Session["discountOrderTotal"];

Does anyone have any ideas? I have never used session variables before and am not sure why it is just returning a $. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Solution

you have different names. discountedOrderTotal vs discountOrderTotal

i prefer to persist a class object to a session variable, that way i can utilize strongly typed properties.

Sometimes it just takes an extra set of eyes. Make sure you're taking regular breaks, even if its just 5 minutes every 15-20 or so to refocus your eyes.
