Re: Load Balancing

yes it matters.

to use an out of proc session (state or sql), all objects stored in
session must be serializable. as you are using sqlexpress, develop with
sqlserver sessions as this is the best choice for high availablility. in
production you will want the sql state server in a cluster.

if you are writing unit tests (always a good idea), its best to have
serialization tests that check that serialization is working properly
for any object that may be stored in session.

it actually matter how I write my code to take advantage of them or will it
just work? (apart from handling sessions, caching)

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

Thanks for your help...

I tend not to use sessions much anyway unless I have to. I will bear it in
mind. This application will be electronic based (i.e. not for viewing by a
browser, but another application talking over http).

I need to look deeper into unit testing (I really want to do this for this
project). I will also investigate deeper into serialising objects.
