ASP to .NET Session Transfer

Generally, there are two ways to transfer ASP sessions to .NET sessions. Also, these methods are not limited to reddot/opentext wsm/cms, but are useful in general day to day coding. Please note that the code illustrations do not take security concerns into consideration, securing session access can be achieved via IIS configuration or addition code checking.
