ASP.NET 2.0 Session State Scope

[=?Utf-8?B?Tm9yZW1hYw==?=]

I can't believe I've never noticed this. Is the Session object at the domain
level and not at the virtual folder level? I guess I have not done multi-app
development at the same time.

I am working on two ASP.NET 2.0 web apps that a user will bounce between. I
am running these in development on my Windows XP machine.

I am writing a value to each application's state. The variable name is the
same in both applications: Session["connectTime"].

I noticed that AppB was overwriting AppA's value. The URLs are
http://localhost/AppA and http://localhost/AppB.

As far as I can tell looking at machine.config and web.config session state
has not been modified so I believe I am using the defaults.

Thanks ahead for the confirmation!

Neither. It's at application level.

Then neither of the folders are applications. You have only one
application, and that is the web root folder.

Hi Noremac,

I also think that your AppA and AppB might not have been correctly
configured as an application in IIS, you can verify this by open its
properties dialog in IIS Manager: on the "Virtual Directory" tab, if you
see the "Application name" field is disabled and the button at the
right-side of it shows "Create" instead of "Remote", then it's not an web
application.
