What are Session states available and its Uses?..

Answer / santosh deshmukh

InProc:- In this mode Session state is stored in the memory
space of the
Aspnet_wp.exe process. This is the default setting. If the
IIS reboots or web
application restarts then session state is lost.

StateServer:-In this mode Session state is serialized and
stored in a separate
process (Aspnet_state.exe); therefore, the state can be
stored on a separate
computer(a state server).

SQL SERVER:- In this mode Session state is serialized and
stored in a SQL Server database.

Session state can be specified in <sessionState> element of
application configuration
file. Using State Server and SQL SERVER session state can
be shared across web farms
but note this comes at speed cost as ASP.NET needs to
serialize and deserialize data over
network again and again.
