asp.net session data lost on postback of the page in windows XP.

Question

Hi,

I have a ascx page on load of the page I save few data in the HttpContext Session, on selection of data in the screen I reload the page with relevant data for the selection. Until here the data in the session exists. But on click of a button say ok button to navigate to next page. all the data in the session is lost. But the same works in windows 7 and windows server 2008 not in windows XP. are there any configuration difference in windows 7 and XP. I am trying to figure out the cause for some time now any help on this would be great.

Thanks

Arvind

We need to see your web.config, specifically the sessionState section.

There are a number of reasons you could be losing your session data... are you sure your app domain is not recycling?
