In our intranet, we have several webforms that were created in Visual Studio .NET. Each webform was created in its own folder. For example,
wwwroot/login
wwwroot/survey
wwwroot/chatroom

The book talks about the session object and gives an example within one project (thus one folder). My question is will the survey and chatroom webforms be able to see the session values that were stored in the login webform given they are each in different folders?

If not, why not? How would this be fixed?

Thanks,

It depends. If you have changed the Login, Survey and Chatroom folders in to Virtual Directories, they are considered to be three different applications that don't share session state.

However, if they all share the same parent (that is, Default Web Site for example) that points to wwwroot, *and* the sub folders are not marked as a Virtual Directory / Application, then all three folders will share session state (they will be seen as normal subfolders).

If you want the three folders to share session state, make sure you have a parent application that points to their parent folder. All three sub folders should be left as is; that is, not marked as a VD.

Does this help?
