I want to set and get information in a Session variable on an IIS
application (ASP.NET website) from a Windows App.

I use webservices to communicate with the IIS app. and keep all calls
from the webservices in the same session.

I have deployed my webservices to the folder where the IIS app resides
and when I call to get the value of an Application variabel there are
no problems, but as soon as I call to get the value of a Session
variable I get an exception.

If i call the webservice from my ASP.NET app. there are no problems
with the session variable.

The Webservice looks as follows:

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Services;

namespace StatusWS
{

public class GetStatus : System.Web.Services.WebService
{
    public GetStatus()
    {
        //CODEGEN: This call is required by the ASP.NET Web Services
Designer
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    #region Component Designer generated code
   
    //Required by the Web Services Designer
    private IContainer components = null;
               
    /// <summary>
    /// Required method for Designer support - do not modify
    /// the contents of this method with the code editor.
    /// </summary>
    private void InitializeComponent()
    {
    }
    /// <summary>
    /// Clean up any resources being used.
    /// </summary>
    protected override void Dispose( bool disposing )
    {
        if(disposing && components != null)
        {
            components.Dispose();
        }
        base.Dispose(disposing);       
    }
   
    #endregion

    [WebMethod (EnableSession=true)]
    public string GetStatusApplication( string strSerialNo, string OTP )
    {
        string strStatus = Application["Status"] != null ?
Application["Status"].ToString() : "<No status found>";
        return Server.HtmlEncode(strStatus);
        }

    [WebMethod (EnableSession=true)]
    public string GetStatusSession( string strSerialNo, string OTP )
    {
        string strStatus = Session["Status"] != null ?
Session["Status"].ToString() : "<No status found>";
        return Server.HtmlEncode(strStatus);
    }
}
}

I have deployed it by copying the asmx file to the ASP.NET application
folder, and added a webreference to it in my windows app.

The windows app. calls like this:

private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
textBox1.Text = new StatusWS.GetStatus().GetStatusSession( "", "" );
}

private void button2_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
textBox2.Text = new StatusWS.GetStatus().GetStatusApplication( "", ""
);
}

I have tried to set CookieContainer on my webservice object but that
didn't do any good.

Any ideas or thoughts are most welcome

Rgds.,
