trouble creating a session variable

[fguihen]

ok ive been through loads of pages showing me how to create a session variable, but when i try it i get an error. heres what i do:

 

i cerate a string called departent.

 

this is initialised with text from a text box

 

i then use the line "Session("department") = Department.text;

 

i get the error "(77): 'System.Web.UI.Page.Session' denotes a 'property' where a 'method' was expected"

 

i have tried loads of other things like

Session("SomeName") = Department.text

etc

etc

 

is there a namespace i need or do i have to create a session object(thought one was automatically created on the server)

[wessamzeidan]

Session.add("department",department.text)

[PlausiblyDamp]

Session["department"] = Department.text;

 

I always forget to use [ ] instead of ( ) when switching between vb and c#
