How to Assign Session variables using Javascript in asp.net

Question

I want to Assign session variable using java script. I find this code that works fine

function SetUserName()
{
    var userName = "Shekhar Shete";
    <%Session["UserName"] = "' + userName + '"; %>;
     alert('<%=Session["UserName"] %>');
}

The problem that i use vb.net as language and not c#. I want have the same code with vb.net. Does anybody have any suggestion to resolve this problem?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Session["UserName"] equivalent is Session("UserName") in vb.net — asdf_enel_hak, Oct 20 '14 at 10:58
Javascript is client side, sessions are server side. You can only get/set a session on a postback. An option would be to send to username through an ajax call. — the_lotus, Oct 20 '14 at 17:27

For VB.Net you can rewrite the same as

<%Session("UserName") = "' + userName + '"%>
alert('<%=Session("UserName") %>');

Also if you want to convert your piece of code from c# to VB , you can take help from : http://www.developerfusion.com/tools/convert/csharp-to-vb

I want have in the session the content of variable userName – Dhibi_Mohanned Oct 20 '14 at 11:05
@Dhibi_Mohanned I formatted your code to VB.Net ... And if that's the case my friend then what you have posted will take the vb/c# variable not the js one – Tushar Gupta Oct 20 '14 at 11:08
