Re: what in place of session variables

Once Membership is installed the use of the Profile can be used to store session data rather easily.

Using the ASP.Net membership provider that was available starting in ASP.Net 2.0. It has most of the logic all set for you and will set the encrypted forms authentication cookie for you as well.

Hope this helps,

My website is encountering loss of Sessions most probably due to hosting service. Cannot use session mode other than InProc since server is not under my complete control. Main problem is that I save user authentication info into session variables, and once these variables fall to Null, user is sent again to the login page.

Is there any alternative idea to the use of session variables, anybody has an option.. A question is , how a protected page could know that user has passed authentication. Cookies ? Querystring variables ?

Thanks
Max
