ASP.NET Temporary or Session Variable

Question

What would be the proper syntax in ASP.NEt 3.5 C# to assign a TextBox value to a temporary or session variable to be manipulated (added, subtracted, multiplied, divided) at different points in the application? I want to add a decimal number to this variable in almost every instance as well.

Answer 1

Session["MyValue"] = Convert.ToDecimal(textBox1.Text);

decimal myValue = Convert.ToDecimal(Session["MyValue"]);

is this what you want?

Answer 2

Something along the lines of:

Session["decimalnumber"] = 1 //Your value

decimal number = (decimal)Session["decimalnumber"]

This assigns 1 into a session variable - then gets it back out as an decimal
