Session State works for InProc, but not for SQLServer mode

Jamie Schatte

We have two ASP.NET 2.0 websites, both running on the same production web
server. One website uses SQLServer mode for session state with no problems.
However, although the other website works great when we use InProc session
state, when we change to SQLServer mode for this website, it does not
work--session variables are not retained page to page (and no errors are
raised indicating a problem). The second website is using the same
connection string to the SQL Server as the first. Both websites use WebForms
authentication, both use the FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage as
recommended after a user is successfully authenticated.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

This is now fixed...upon additional debugging it was discovered that a
non-serializable type was being stored in session state, which is a no-no
when using StateServer or SQLServer session state mode. Jamie
