how to use state server for session in asp.net 2.0

Question

Hi all,

I need to know the procedure to use asp.net session state server for session.

Please help.

Answer 1

You need to:

1. Start the stat session windows service

2. Add the following entry to your web.config file:

   <sessionState mode="StateServer" stateConnectionString="tcpip=127.0.0.1:42424" cookieless="UseCookies" timeout="10" regenerateExpiredSessionId="true" />

3. Configure the values in the above entry according to this

Note that if you used to use the inProc sessions before, you will not be able to store non serializable objects in session anymore.
