I am using both sessions and application variables. We have a webfarm so we use SQL mode. My application variables (basically an application counter) keep getting reset. If I update the application scripts or restart IIS do the application variables reset also?

Application variables reset every time the application starts.. that means if you turn of IIS and turn it back on, it will reset. Change the .DLL's and it resets (as it respins up with the new DLL).

But I don't think this will be the case when you use a StateServer or Sql Server as indicated by the OP.
In fact, I think the whole idea about storing state in a separate (Sql) server is make the session info survive server restarts / reboots (and exposing the data to a Web farm of course).
Bit why don't you try it out? Store some stuff in a session, restart IIS and see if it's still there....

Hal,
So session variables are stored in the SQL but application variables are not? I was under the impression when I set up the SQL mode that it would store both (session and application) in the SQL db. Is there a way for this other than rolling my own script to insert into the db?

I wish this was in a seperate thread!... anyway- yes, App variables are always stored in memory on the server. THe idea is that App variables shouldn't be anything but lookup kinds of things... Nothing really dynamic should be there- such as something counting the number of visitors.. something like that should be cusom built as user control (or custom control) and have a DB Backend.

Thanks for the suggestion. Although I've already changed my code, I did look for the log file as you suggest. What I found was this:

I am a IIS newbie learning .NET. Where is this log file located? My config is standard-- I dont know enough to have done anything out of the default settings/paths I dont think.
TIA

The default location is somewhere under the Windows folder.
To find out the exact location for each site, open up the IIS manager, locate your Web site, right-click it and choose Properties. On the Web Site tab click Properties in the Enable Logging area. You'll find the location for the log files on the bottom of the dialog that opened.
Cheers,
