Session Variables assigned to the wrong session?

Hi all,
I have an ASP.net application in which I keep the user login in session
variables.

Today, with two users accessing simultaneously the application (in
different sessions, but accessing the same page), I noticed that in some
postbacks the returned page was not the one that the user was working; the
data of the form are of the other user.

At first, I thought that it was some problem with the cache of the server -
I'm still not certain if it isn't -, but some operations in the system
depends on the login stored in session variables, and following these
operations I'm sure that the login session variable has changed with the
wrong page returned by the server.

I'm sure that this problem is not related with session expiration, in some
cases it occurs just some seconds after the login. After the "session
change", if I force postbacks by clicking in controls or links in my
application, the login session variable returns to the correct value.

Does anyone know what is happening? Any help or suggestion will be
appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Fabrício de Novaes Kucinskis.

I've read (and read!) that you shouldn't store objects in Session variables. I've read these reasons: - The object takes up memory that may not be freed until the session times out. Better to create the object only when you actually use it. - Causes poor performance because the thread that created the object has to service all requests for it. Assuming I can live with the memory and performance implications (a big if,

Background: ------------- The idea started as a single sign on type of application. Having tested it before, I knew we could institute single sign on using the same Authentication Cookie name (in this case "AuthenticationCookie" -- yeah, original, I know) and the same machine keys for the applications. <authentication mode="Forms"> <forms name="AuthenticationCookie" path="/" loginUrl="login.aspx" protection="All" timeout="10" />

Hello, I'm having a strange problem. I've got a .NET web app which uses Session variables. Sometime, not all the time, they get cross threaded...that is...one user will have another user's Session variable(s) data assigned to them. I can't figure out why. I've read that other people are having this problem too but I haven't found a resolution yet. Can someone please tell me how I might go about fixing this? Thanks

My application relies on session variables to keep track of the currently selected customer. When a new window is opened using File-New-Window in Internet Explorer, the session variables are shared between the two instances of IE. When this happens, various problems occur, such as orders getting assigned to the wrong customer. How can I best manage this problem?

When a user opens a new IE browser window using File-New-Window the integrity of an application which relies on session state is COMPLETELY undermined. Anyone who overlooks the fact that File-New-Window creates an instance of IE in the same process with the same SessionID as the parent window is in big trouble. This fundamentally restricts the usefullness of using session state management. I probably missed it somewhere - can...

I think I have figured out my problem but I don't know how to solve it. We are going to start using a forums package and do not want our users to have to login to both our site, and then again to the forums package. The creator of the forums package provides what seems to be an easy workaround for this. Create two session variables, one for ID, the other for Password, and his program will take care of the rest. I have all of my forums...
