not good with CS or controls have have just been playing with context 
and sounds like it might help you. Is the reason that you can't set the 
session variable in the dll because you don't seem to have access to it?

If so then pass a reference to context.current and you should be able to 
access all of the page context and thus the session vars from there

have a look at 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnaspnet/html/asp01242002.asp 
for a really good article on it. Or another article by the same author 
at http://www.swarren.net/CustomControls.doc on custom controls

Subject: [aspx_professional] Maintaining State with Custom Server
Controls


Hi,

I have a webpage personal_calendar.aspx page (with code-behind file
personal_calendar.cs), which hosts a custom server control.  The server
control reacts to user events, and I need to set the state of the page
within a server control eventhandler ie.  the user clicks on the edit
button of the control - I want to store that the page is now in edit
mode.  So, after postback when the page is reloading it knows it is in
edit mode and can execute the appropriate code.

I don't appear to be able to set session variables from the dll,
implementing the server control and I don't see a way of calling code in 

personal_calendar.cs to set it from there either.

It would be much appreciated if anyone could point me in the right
direction as to how this is done, or direct me to any relevant
samples/tutorials/resources on web?


Thanks,
Richard
