Session ID

[Gary Hyslop at home]

In ASP.NET I am identifying sessions by incrementing a counter in a global class, which is initialized to 0. The Page Load code increments the counter inside a !IsPostBack conditional. There is Response.Write at the end of the conditional block that displays the counter on the page. Most of the time it works fine and each session has its unique ID. Under some circumstances "0" is displayed when the page is first accessed. There is only one link that is used to request the page. This is a controlled test environment. Can anyone conjecture on how the IsPostBack event can fire upon the initial page request? The code: private void Page_Load ... { if (!IsPostBack) { ++Global.session_id; ... } Response.Write("Global.session_id.ToString()); | Gary Hyslop

Why not just use Session.SessionId, i.e. the normal session id provided by ASP.NET?
