HttpContext.Current.Application during load balancing

Question

I wanted to understand the behavior of HttpContext.Current.Application during the load balancing.

I have read that session can be stored in disk hence can be retrieved from different servers.

Is this true for HttpContext.Current.Application also. Does the key\data stored in one machine is accessible in other different machine too?

Please let me know..

Thanks, Naval

Answer 1

Application state is not shared across web servers (ie. in a web farm) because is stored in the IIS process that contains the web application's pool.
