Hi folks,

I have followed advice in a previous post on how to create a custom
ASP .NET application in the _layouts folder of a Sharepoint Portal
Server installation.

I have created the ASP .NET application as a standalone and this works
absolutely fine. However, when I move the application over to the
_layouts folder I receive errors about the SessionState not being
active. The session state is an integral part of the ASP .NET
application and is required for it's smooth and successful running.

My question is: Is there any way that I can enable the Session State
at this level? I have tried a stripped down web.config file with only
SessionState information, I have also tried using the Page directive
within the .aspx file itself. No joy.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
