Doubt about 'Session'

[tina newcoder]

When a client is connected with the server, a session is assigned with that client uniquely, now a sessionID is stored as cookie on the client's system. Now, i m trying to check the value of this ID, as Session.SessionID but, each time the page is re-loaded, the ID changes .... ! Why does the ID change ? Is there anything wrong in my code, or the ID actually changes when the page is re-loaded ???

You're storing a cookie ? I don't believe the session does this by default. One good thing about the Session is that, unlike cookies, the user cannot turn it off.

Christian Graus Please read this if you don't understand the answer I've given you. If you're still stuck, ask me for more information.

my code,

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(Session.SessionID.ToString());
}

The above code shows a message box with the current Session ID.

I have tested that (posted) code for both IE 6.0 and Firefox 2.0 Both are showing similar behavior !!!! :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

Try to replicate this issue in an empty web app. If it occurs, then the problem is with your server's configuration (machine.config). If not, the problem is only application-level. My guess is that this is the case: see if you have a really low session Timeout set, or if you have a Session.Abandon() command somewhere in your program.
