How to create unique sessions ?

[shamloo]

How do I create dynamic, unique sessions ?

Can it even be done and how hard is it ?

I do not want to use the application-scope...

hi, what context do you mean?

[shamloo]

I mean like they do on this page:

Hi , if you want to kill your session you could go Session.Abandon and then response.redirect to the page that was requested.

[shamloo]

Yes, I already knew that

But how do I create the unique value in the first place ??

David

Oh ok, the uniques session value is automatically made by the server when a user connects (Session starts). If you want to create a unique value manually you can abort the session and then when you go to the next page the server will give you a new session id.

Response.Write Session.SessionID

ahh!!
thanks!

I guess I should have known that

You don't happen to know if there actually is a way of creating your own unique session values ?

First I thought that a had the solution, which was:
use IP address and datestamp and then squeeze them together.
But that solutions fails if 2 persons (on the same company that uses only ONE IP address external but more than one internal) enters my page EXACTLY the same time. I still don't know if it's possible to do what I try to achieve.


Anyhow, thanks again!

Yeah, I actually do

Use the session id concatenated with the date and time stamp.

No server will assign the same session id while a person is on the server at the same time.

I actually used this in a webfarm format and it worked fine
