ASP+ session state management

[Ariel Azia]

Hi All!

all the articles i've found discuss session state management at an overview
level, i would very much appreciate a link to a more detailed explaination
of how the session state work in NGWS.

questions regarding the session state:
do i have to implement a session object to support storing it out of process?
how do i store the state of more complex data objects , assuming they are
persistent? can i make the new session object aware that the refered object
in the contents collection should be (un)persisted? the persistance tree
can be more than two level deep.

also, i need to implement a state less solution as soon as possible, how
long will i wait for the NGWS extensions and the new session state?

thanks,
ariel

No, its in there, like in ASP.

Just add he object to the session, it (and all referenced objects) will be
saved IF THEY ARE SERIALISABLE. Serialisation is handled automatically, you
just mark a class as serialisable.

Early August, maybe another two weaks max. Its very stable already.

No. Built in.

All data types in .NET are persistable. They know how to serialize
themselves into the session.

Not sure I understand this one....

2 out-of-process session state stores ship with ASP+...ASP+ State Store,
and SQL State Store. To run out of process, you do not instantiate an object,
but rather, run another process on your server.

There has been lots of questions on Session State...ASPNextGen.com will launch
in a couple weeks, and by month end will will have a tutorial on out-of-process
Session State Management.
