I need to go from one site that we host at one ip address to another site, that we host on a different IP address. The site I am working on is in .Net, while the other site uses ASP. If I have a session variable when I do a redirect to the second site, and the client gets redirected back to my site, is the session variable still there and valid/useful or do I have to recreate all the data in the variable?

Thanks

You might try cookies because asp and asp.net use two different engines (for lack of a better word).

The session data in each environment will be maintained under the rules of that environment. I.e., the default for IIS is a 20 minute timeout for the session. Each server will maintain its associated session for that amount of time regardless of how much switching back and forth between the servers you do. As long as each is hit within the timeout period each session will be maintained.

Of course, because you are going between 2 different servers you can't share session information so you will need to handle any data handoffs between servers in order to keep all the necessary data consistant.
