aspx random generated messy codes in the IE addres

summer00 · December 21st, 2004, 02:04 AM

im using VS.NET to develop some aspx web pages. When im running the aspx pages in IE, i found that there are plenty of random generated codes at the IE address bar, e.g :
http://localhost/(lqtfdynut1kynb2qegzwiz45)/default.aspx

But if i were to use web matrix , then it's all fine

May i know what is this for ? : (lqtfdynut1kynb2qegzwiz45)

thanks a million :)

Its because cookieless session is set to true in your applications web.config. Go there and set it to false.

FYI, cookieless sessionState : If the users do not have cookies enabled it will create random GUID in the url to carry the information. Hope this helps.

actually im developing mobile web application, is it the reason that it shows the session ID at the IE address bar ?

one more thing, since asp.net could be used on various type of mobile devices(mobile phone, PDA), so i am wondering whether can i disable session state for PDA and enable session state for other non-cookie support mobile devices? Meaning that in the web config file , i wish to have both disable , enable configuration...is it possible? thanks
