Sharing Data between ASP and ASP.Net

Presently I program in ASP. With ASP.Net being the new thing, I would like to learn it. As a result, most of my pages are in ASP, but I would like to share data with ASP.Net pages. For example, if a user logs in on an ASP page, I would like to be able to use the same login information on the ASP.Net pages, without requiring the user to log in again. Is there a way to do this other than with FSO and storing a temporary value in the database?One option is to use a cookie that is shared between ASP and ASP.NET. Session state is not shared between ASP and ASP.NET, and hitting a datase each page load is a bit extreme. It iwll likely in the end require changes in the ASP code, and compromises in the ASP.NET code.
this may help :

ASP and ASP.NET can share :

cookies
querystrings and form posts
data sources

they can't share Session without a third-party addon such as Sessionbridge - www.sessionbridge.com
