session state faster than view state??
Hello, I have been told not to use session state because we will potentially have a server farm. However, my web page runs MUCH slower with view state than session state. In debug, it takes 60-90 seconds before I even hit the breakpoint on the page load event. It is also considerably slower out of debug. I need to potentially save a large dataset of information. Is this difference expected or is there something wrong with my project. If its my project, can you give me some ideas of where to look for problems? Thanks in advance. Session state stays on the server, wehreas ViewSta...

Unable to make the session state request to the session state server
Hi all, I'm working on the website http://universityauction.net and I was using session variables using InProc session mode to manage session state. This worked fine until I put the website in a load balanced environment, as inproc sessions get lost when jumping from server to server. I decided to move to a state server mode, so I changed my web.config to: <sessionState             mode="StateServer"             stateConnectionString="tcpip=123.456.7.8:42424"      ...

Unable to make the session state request to the session state server #2
We have recently started receiving these errors in the event viewer. We are using the out of proc state server on the same machine. The errors become more frequent, almost like it snowballs until users cannot work. System Info: Windows Server 2003 Standard SP2 , 4 GB of RAM, IIS 6.0, Asp.Net 2.0.

Unable to make the session state request to the session state server etc.
We are getting an error message "Unable to make the session state request to the session state server..." sporadically in one of our applications.  We have several applications running on a 4-server web farm, and these applications have been in production for a year, so it is not a problem that the server is not reachable, not started, not addressed correctly, etc etc etc. One of the applications *does* put a lot of large datasets into session state.  Is there a limit on the allowable size of a session/cached object?  Also, the application opens several windows at once, ...

Session State vs Profile State Which is Better?
  I have a site where everyone must log in, and each user can only see data that they are authorized to see. Currently, I'm storing several key items (UserID, DisplayName, etc.) in Session state to make them easy to access across the entire site. I have a few questions: Is there any problem with using Session state? Some people say the IIS server is restarted often for reliability. Not sure this is true, but it would cause a problem for anyone on the site when the restart happens. I believe using Profiles will hit the DB every time I use a Profile variable. Is this corr...
