Session

[vbpahuja]

A strange problem:

i have developed a small web application with a page int it.

when i am trying to access it using http://localhost is works fine(session state is mainained & Session Id is same when I refresh page), but when i am using htt://machinename to run application i get a new session ID every time I refresh the page. all the settings in web.config are default, i haven't modified them.

any ideas?

Here is the answer I got in a book:

For performance reasons, the .NET Framework does not maintain state between the Web Server and the Web browser automatically, hence the Session ID is always different between submissions. however, when the Session object is used or when the Session_OnStart() event is added to the global.asax file, the Session ID would be maintained between two postbacks.
