Session variables not pointing to Request.Form Values
I am trying to take the value a user inputs from a form and put it into a session variable. The basic code (on Page1) is thus:
Session("first_name") = Request.Form("first_name")
If I reference the session variable on that same page (such as <%= Session("first_name") %>) it works fine. However, when I go to a new page (Page2) it does not work anymore, the session variable just shows up blank. If I go back to the first page and set the session variable equal to a simple string it works and will show up fine on both pages. Like thus:
Session("first_name") = "first name"
I realized what was happening is that Session("first_name") is not being set to the contents of Request.Form("first_name") but is instead pointing to the actual Request.Form object. If I include a <input type="hidden" name="first_name" value="some value here"> on Page2 then when I try to display Session("first_name") it displays "some value here" because it is now pointing to the Request.Form("first_name") on Page2 instead of on Page1.
Are session variables just pointers to the Request.Form variable? Is there a way to set it to the actual content of the input field so I can pass it to the next page?

If you're using TextBox, than instead of Request.Form use this:
Session("first_name") = TextBox1.Text

I don't think I'm using textBox. I'm not familiar with it, but I would assume that I would have had to specifically declare it.
Edit: If you're referring to <asp:Textbox> I am not using it. The tags are simple HTML <input>

Can you post your whole code (page and code-behind)?

Ok, there are three pages. I'm sure this isn't done according to the standard development model, as I'm new to ASP.Net and just trying to get this working.

If I go back to Page 2 (confirm.aspx) and change lines 14 and 15 thus, then the session variables show up fine in Page 3 (submit.aspx) as whatever strings I defined them as:14 Session("first_name") = "first_name"
15 Session("last_name") = "last_name"Or, if I include this on Page 2 (confirm.aspx) inside the <form> tag:1 <input type="hidden" name="first_name" value="My First Name Value"/>
2 <input type="hidden" name="last_name" value="My Last Name Value"/>Then on Page 3 (submit.aspx) the page returns the values I put in those <input> tags as the values for the Session variables. I presume that on Page 2 the session variables have somehow been set to point to the Request.Form objects rather than to the contents of the Request.Form objects coming from page 1.

You should use TextBox control instead input fields, so replace this:
with this:<input style="WIDTH: 250px; HEIGHT: 22px" size="44" name="first_name">and change your code in input.aspx into this:<asp:TextBox ID="first_name" runat="server" />Sub SubmitBtn_Click(ByVal Sender As Object, ByVal E As EventArgs)
Session("first_name") = first_name.Text
Server.Transfer("confirm.aspx", True)
End Sub

Incredible. Thanks for the help! I looked all over and wasn't finding anything. Maybe someday I'll be as comfortable with this as I am with PHP.

State management upon session variable changes
I noticed that whenever a session variable is changed...the application knows about it and suddenly restarts session. My question is does restart "ALL" sessions or only the active sessions for which the variables changed? Imagine a "multi-user" application all with different states and an administration panel that lets you change session variables. In this case, my question has to do with the question that if Company X changes his session variables, will only Company X's sessions be reset or will all "sessions" be reset?
