disabling session state in iis vs web.config

[John A Grandy]

Enabling / disabling session state can be controlled at the web.config and
the iis web site levels. If session state is disabled in web.config , is
there any reason to also disable it at the iis web site level ?

Short answer : no.

<sessionState mode="Off" />

....is fine for that application...and that application only.

The session state in IIS that you describe is the classic ASP Session state
only - nothing to do with ASP.NET Session state, which is controlled in
either the web.config or at the individual page level in either the @Page
directive or in the codebehind class.
