  // Clear all values from session state of 'Page'.
  Session.Clear();

  // Populate Session State of UserControl with the values entered by user.
  myControl.Session.Add("username",myControl.user.Text);
  myControl.Session.Add("password",myControl.password.Text);

  // Add UserControl state to the SessionState object of Page.
  Session[myControl.user.Text]= myControl;
  display.Enabled = true;
}

void Display_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  int position = Session.Count - 1;

  // Extract stored UserControl from the session state of page.
  LogOnControl tempControl = (LogOnControl)Session[Session.Keys[position]];

  // Use SessionState of UserControl to display previously typed information.
  txtSession.Text = "<br /><br />User:" + tempControl.Session["username"] + "<br />Password : " + tempControl.Session["password"];
  display.Enabled = false;
}
