a question about the session state...

Question

Can you do some research and tell us if session state will end on a laptop which is running an ASP.Net web app on IIS if

1. We close the laptop lid and open it after some time. The browser window is still open on the same page that I was browsing, but now would the session have expired?
2. What if I explicitly went into hibernate mode and brought the laptop back up. What happens to session state then?

Assume that the asp.net session timeout interval is set to the default 20 mins.

Let me know when you find out more on this.

Answer 1

You may want to reword your question as SO is about answering questions not requesting others do your research for you. However, if the user closes and opens the lid within 20 minutes then the session is still there as the cookie will persist through standby and hibernate.
