Hi all

This is my first post here, and it's a general query.
I have built websites before in classic ASP, where users are kept logged into a website by using the session object. Now I'm making the transition to .NET (C#), I'm wondering if I can still use the session object, and if so, is it wise to use it, or is there perhaps a better, more advanced facility in the .NET framework?

Cheers for any help/suggestions,
Andy

The Session Object is still available to you in ASP.Net, and I use it constantly. There are other ways of handling state in an ASP.Net Application, such as using the built in Session State methods available in .Net. using the Session object has several drawbacks such as it isn't good if your application is hosted in a server farm, if the Application Pool is recycled you will loose the session and if a person doesn't accept HTTP cookies you cannot use the Session Object.

If I were you I would read the Session State link I provided above, this will give much better alternatives to using the Session Object. Hope that answers your questions smile.gif
