Introduction

ASP.NET, like traditional ASP, provides the facility to track a user's session using Session State. Web applications are built on Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).  HTTP being a stateless protocol, each request to the server from the client is understood as an independent request. ASP.NET provides a powerful way to store a user’s session specific data using the Session State which is accessible as long as the user’s session is alive.  This article discusses Session State, its advantages and disadvantages, the Session storage modes and how we can configure the same using the application’s web.config file.

Title: Firefox and IE process session differently

Hi,

I found firefox keeps same value of "ASP.NET_SessionId" session on every new opened browser window. But IE generated a new "ASP.NET_SessionId". So you could not share sesssion data between new opened browser window in IE.

Title: Session State questions

Hi Joydip,

I could access to session using both "Response.Redirect(url,false);" and "Response.Redirect(url)". I really could not tell what's the differences between them.

Recently one my cowork set "sessionState mode='StateServer'" instead of "mode='InProc'", because he said the session were lost sometimes. Did you have this kind of problem? If you had it, please tell me how you fixed it.

By the way, if I have big data block, like a big hashtable, Should I save it to session or viewstate? Why?

Thanks.
Michael
