Remove

Synopsis

Session.Remove(ByVal name As String)

Removes an item from the Session collection by name.

Parameters

name

A String argument containing the name (key) of the item to remove.

Example

The example determines whether the item with the key “foo” exists in the Session collection and if it does, removes the item and displays an appropriate message:

Sub Page_Load(  )
   If Not Session("foo") Is Nothing Then
      Session.Remove("foo")
      Message.Text = "Item 'foo' was removed."
   Else
      Message.Text = "Item 'foo' does not exist."
   End If
End Sub

Notes

The Remove method is provided for backward compatibility with classic ASP. In classic ASP, this method was accessed through the Contents collection. In ASP.NET, this method can be accessed either directly, as shown above, or through the Contents collection.
