hey can i get difference between application and session variables?

thanks in advance
hrishikesh

i guess they works together... application looks for session.variables in order to check for logins..

i'm a beginner, hoping to learn more.. please help... thanks a lot

The difference is in the length of their existance.
An application variable exists from when the application is first 'run' (The first time a page in the app is used) and exists until the application is stopped on the server, either through IIS or the actual machine being turned off or rebooted.
A session variable is created for the instance of the browser accessing the site and will only be available until that browser is closed or the session times out.
