Session Question

[JJ]

Hi,

I was wondering if this is true or not. I was under the assumption
that if you open up the first browser window, call up an asp.net app
and I opened up another browser window that called that same asp.net
that the sessions would be different for both windows? Is this not the
case?

If it's within the same browser app, it'll share the same session. If
you're using IE and Firefox, then it'll be 2 sessions.

See this is the sort of stuff that the text books don't teach that they
should. I have looked through all the beginnning asp.net books and no
mention of this. Ok so what other little things like this should I
know?

Don't worry, a lot of knowledge will come with experience.

Just build a small web app from scratch and you'll gain a lot of
experience.

I have built asp.net apps. A couple of them but I never killed the had
more than one browser window up to call up the same asp.net app.

Why would someone open up more than one window to the app to begin
with?

Why not? Online shopping is one example - comparing products.

I'm not sure what you mean

If you're using IE and Firefox, then it'll be 2 sessions.

The fact is that if you start another browser in same computer to request
same .net application , even the first one is IE and second is also IE, then
a new session starts.

Ok need clarification here. If I open up a browser window to an asp.net
app, I of course would have 1 session started. If I open up another
browser window to same asp.net app Do I or Do I not have another
session started or am I using same session from First browser window
open?

Second IE whill start a new Session not same session from First
browser window.

Is this with CTRL-N or starting a new instance of IE?

 

[JJ]

Starting New instance of IE while having another IE window open. So
with first IE window open, I go to IE icon on desktop and click on it
to bring up new window. Im not spawning a new IE window from asp.net
code.

So since I am doing that I would assume that a new session would be
started, correct?
