Name

StaticObjects Collection — Session.StaticObjects( Key )

Synopsis

Contains all of the objects with session-level scope that are added to the application through the use of the <OBJECT> tag.

retrieves the name of the first element in the StaticObjects collection of the Session object.

strKey = Session.StaticObjects.Key(1)
Session.StaticObjects.Item(strKey).Printer = "Epson 540"
