Help, Strange Session Problem

This should be impossible, but for some reason, people are not getting
individual sessions.

They start a session. I set the session("applic ation") variable to the
unique number generated by an identity column on our sql server. I
only set session("applic ation") at the begiinning and it should stay
the same as they fill out the application. But session("applic ation")
is not staying the same. When another user starts the application, and
session("applic ation") is set for them, it overwrites everyone elses
session("applic ation"). So session("applic ation") which must remain
unchanged, is changed!

I do use cookieless session state, but cookieless sessions were working
for months before the problem started. The application that worked
fine for months before the problem started. We have made changes to
the sql server and web server and application code, but I can't figure
out how these changes could affect the application in such a way. You
shouldn't be able to cross sessions even if you wanted to.

Anything come to mind?

Sounds kinda scary to me. But, as you mentioned, you've made changes to the
Sql Server, the webServer, and application code.
So essentially, now you need to put on your detective hat and go backwards,
and find out what it was that you changed that has caused this fiasco.
For us here who've never even seen the code, it would simply be a guessing
game.
And, yes, it is rare and near impossible (provided everything is working
properly) for users to get other users' sessions.
Good Luck!

Probably a newbie question about "state": My problem is I have a search form, so user enters a keyword <enter>, then this form posts to another page were the result are displayed. But this display page uses pagination to break the results up into several subsequent pages. The 1st page is OK, but 2nd...last display pages loose the key word variable I initially posted. Seems I could keep passing the keyword with GET, I already use GET...

Hello, i'm struggling with a somehow badly understood session scenario. I provide acces to my pages based on form authentication using Session cookies. Som of my pages are supposed to be running continuously and refreshing once an hour.

I have a form with a Submit button. The user fills out the form, clicks the submit button, and then the page posts back to itself. Every time the page posts back to itself, the "Page_Load" event fires. So if the user first types the URL of the page in the browser, the "Page_Load" event fires. Then he hits submit, and the form contents are posted back, so the "Page_Load" event fires again. The form appears again (I clear its contents),...

I am using form authentication and InProc cookieless session. The strange thing is that when an authenticated user try to navigate to any page that is in subfolder of the application root, the session is restarted and new session id is generated. Thus the user would never be able to access those pages because each page's InitializeComponent() checks if (Session.Keys.Count == 0). If yes, then server transfer the request to login.aspx...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
