Re: session variable getting lost

Okay, so let's say that all of the things you've listed below are not
happening. But, that a Response.Redirect may be. The documentation states
that Redirect calls End which raises a ThreadAbortException. I do not see
this exception however. I am wondering if this could be at the root of my
random problem here...

Thanks for your responses

Sal,
The only time a Session item would be lost under "normal circumstances"
(e.g. it hasn't timed out by itself due to no page requests) is that IIS
is
recycling the application. Recycling can be because of IIS settings,
because
something touched one or more of the files in the web folder "tree", or
because you've got buggy code that's causing unhandled exceptions.
In any of these cases, you can bet that your Application, Session and
Cache
items will all go down the potty.
Peter

Mark, thanks for the reply.
I do not see either of these things applying here. This happened twice
this
morning for no apparent reason and then it didn't happen. I have not
changed
the time out so it should still be 20 minutes and I am not overwriting
them
as far as I can see. I can not reproduce it on my machine.

My question is, is there some reason that my session variable
evaporates
randomly?

No. Session variables will be lost when the Session times out, or when
they are overwritten / removed - does either of these situations apply
here...?
