When I use Xcopy to deploy my changes to IIS, it seems to drop the
user connections; i.e., empties out their Session variables, etc. I
thought ASP.NET was supposed to use shadow deployment and gracefully
have new connections use the new code, while the old code is cached
for current connections.
Anyone?

Matt,
It does if you don't change two files: the global.asax and the web.config
file.
You could for example change one .aspx page, compile, deploy that .aspx page
and the application's main .dll file and the transition would be flawless.
But if you xcopy everything the server restarts sessions. Another solution
would be to switch session state over to the database or a session server.
Sincerely,

Thanks Marina!
Am I correct though that if the sessions are set to run from the database
this wouldn't occurr?

Uploading into the bin directory (i.e. updating dll's) will cause an
application restart.
So will changing the .aspx after a certain number of updates (I believe
this is specified in machine.config) .
Also, if you are using the 'src' attribute in your .aspx files, changing
any source .cs or .vb files will cause a recompile, and thus an application
restart.
What gets dropped are sessions. However - this is not the same as
dropping a user connection.
Any requests that began before the XCopy, will finish with the old copy of
the code. Any requests after the copy, will use the new code.
However, since the sessions are dropped, this may cause code to
malfunction - and this needs to be planned for.
There is no workaround - this is life. Try to schedule updates when there
will be few users using your site.

Hi,
Want to know if anyone else encounters this issue. I maintain several
asp.net websites over the Internet. Now I love xcopy deployment. It makes it
easy to do date based change management.
But I do find some files slip through, especially if you are using standard
libraries that may not have been recently compiled. And some of my staff
routinely overlook the update procedures and will not deploy files they've
changed to all copies...

Is there an available Crystal redistribution package I can run before doing
