put vb.net nested session value in a javascript variable

I have a vb.net aspx page that i need to assign a session variable inside of javascript

if i do the following 

var baz ="<%=Session("User")%>";
alert(baz);

the alert i receive is the class name

 "TheName.WebFramework.Security.AdvanceUser"

i need a nested value of this session , and have no idea how to do this in vb

i do however know how to do this in C# / generic http handler

 ...
 public void ProcessRequest (HttpContext context) {
    IAdvanceUser user = context.Session["User"] as IAdvanceUser;
 ... 
    var ID = user.EntityID

and of course in php, RoR , ColdFusion, ect

I have tried this but it failed miserably

var baz ="<%=Session("User").("EntityId")%>";
alert(baz);

any ideas?

Try this: use CType(fromObjectHere, toObjectHere)

var baz ="<%= CType(Session("User"), AdvanceUser).EntityID %>";

Update

You might need to type the full name TheName.WebFramework.Security.AdvanceUser or import the namespace

<%= CType(Session("User"), TheName.WebFramework.Security.AdvanceUser).EntityID %>
