How to use session variables with ISYS:web.dk (admin)

In ASP it is possible to store objects and values in the session variables of a user. This is not recommended for ISYS:web.dk (admin) objects, however, as resources that are allocated may not be released until the session expires.

ISYS:web.dk (admin) is designed to handle persisting search results across requests by saving them to disk and reloading them as required. The ISYSResultList.Save function will save the result list to disk and return a integer that can be used to identify the result list for the next 24 hours. You can then reload the results list by calling ISYSIndex.LoadResultList and passing in this search identifier. It is perfectly valid to store this identifier in a session variable or pass it via the query string of a URL.

' Save the results to disk
dim Results
set Results = Application("ISYSIndex").PerformFind(Request("search"), 0)
searchId = Results.Save

' Load the result list from disk
dim Results
set Results = Application("ISYSIndex").LoadResultList("", _
    CInt(Request("searchid")))
