ASP.Net without session.

soccers_guy10 · May 8th, 2007, 03:34 AM

I've a problem to develop asp.net web application on the server that cannot use httpcontext session. I'm not sure why it cannot use session. I want to know how can I maintain session state variable on such type of this server. Any suggestion for me?

Thank in advance.

Here's a couple related excerpts from a great article:

Quote:

quote:session data canÃ¢â¬â¢t be shared in a web farm scenario where multiple web servers are processing requests from multiple clients ... The ASP.NET session implementation addresses both of these weaknesses by allowing for "cookieless" sessions and off-server storage of session data. The ASP.NET session state module is configured declaratively in the Web.config file like so:

<sessionState mode="InProc" cookieless="false" timeout="20" />
