HttpSession Class

[pradeep_TP]

Hi all,

I am trying to find out the internals of session management in ASP.net. I
often come accross a class called HTTPSession. However I do not find any such
class anywhere in the .net framework class. The closest i could get was
HttpSessioState class which is in System.Web.Sess ionState namespace. Can
anybody please explain me whether i have understood it correctly?

Thanks

Yes, that's the class you're looking for.

Jooss your reply has confused me. when you said "that's the class " which
class are you pointing to. If you meant HttpSessioState , the why so many web
sites refer to HttpSession class, which i do not see anywhere!

thanks

HttpSessionStat e is the one that represents HTTP session.

There's only one class: HttpSessionStat e. There's no class HttpSession
(that's the name of the equivalent interface in J2EE).

If somebody refers to a "session" or a "HTTP session", it implies using
an instance of the HttpSessionStat e class in ASP.NET.

Thank you joerg.

I was also quite sure that its the HttpsessionStat e and NOT Httpsession. But
i was really confused (should i still say still confused...) when I read the
following articles.

http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/AS...sp#xx1030220xx.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...rttoaspnet.asp

Both of the articles talk about HTTPSession object!!. I wonder whether it is
a voodoo magic!?

No, it's just a mild case of sloppiness on the authors' side ;-)
