Session State

[Thomas]

Hi,

I am fairly new to ASP.Net and I am struggling with session state. I need
to store session state on a sql server because in the future I will need the
ability to scale my app server into multiple servers. I am using ASP.Net
2.0 and I was looking at using the Cache Enterprise App Block 2.0. However,
I came across some articles online that the new enhancements in ASP.Net 2.0
for session state will eliminate the need to use the Cache App Block when
storing to a db. I am confused to what I should use. I like the idea of
using the Cache App Block because it is defined abstracted layer however is
there a need to add another layer to my application. Any thoughts?

Thanks

When the time comes to move up to a farm, ScaleOut StateServer
is worth the money. Your site performance will still be great
and you won't have to adjust your code to integrate it:

I've mapped the database to .NET class properties and methods to
implement an multi-layered object oriented environment for your
data access layer. Thus, you should rarely ever have to type the words
SqlCommand, SqlDataAdapter, or SqlConnection again.
