Website is not setting Session cookie for asp.net_session id

SevDer

Hi,

I've done some coding in my web application however right now for an unknown
reason my asp.net 2.0 site is not setting asp.net_session id cookie and as a
result, I am losing the session data in each page refresh or redirect.

I really do not have any coding against how the session works.
And I have not changed any setting in IIS.

I even compared the 2 code(old and new) bases and didn't see anything funny
which will
cause this.

This truly drives me crazy right now.

Other notes: I've tried this on 3 different machines and it makes the same
behavior on all of them. (old code fine, new code bad)

But I want to repeat again, I am not doing anything related to actual
session

And a final note: After reviewing alot, I realized that before I use the
session object at least once, application does not set "asp.net_sessio nid"
cookie.
When I set a dummy variable at least once, it works and sets
"asp.net_sessio nid" cookie. However this is still a problem as setting works
after viewing the page for the first time.
As a result cookie is still not availble in the first load but valid
afterwards.

Can someone tell me why my asp.net 2.0 app is not setting this cookie by
default? Am I doing something wrong?

I have the following in my web.config

I think this is by design - the Session doesn't "Bake" until a Session item
has actually been set (in ASP.NET 2.0).

Hi Steven,

Just to clarify the issues I'm having.
I've solved the issue by setting a dummy session variable even though I am
not using it.

Now why do I need session when I don't directly use it?
Because I use a syncronized static hashtable where I access the active item
for the session throught the sessionid. My reason for this is because there
are threads working on active object in the hashtable for that session. This
is why I need the session eventhough I don't use it directly.

I hope I made it clear...

Now I've got your detailed problem scenario. Yes, I agree that make the
sessionID fixed is quite important in your design.

Session Cookie not accessible across Sub-Domains

by: Doug | last post by:

An ASP.NET session cookie set on "www.mydomain.com" can not be accessed on "search.mydomain.com"; hence, a new session and cookie are being created on every sub-domain. This is occuring because ASP.NET always sets the Session cookie domain to the full domain (e.g. "www.mydomain.com") instead of the parent domain (e.g. "mydomain.com") The problem with this is when the visitor goes to a different sub-domain (e.g. "search.mydomain.com"),...
