Hi,
Could anyone please let me know how to read SessionState setting from the
Web.Config file into an ASPNET application?

TIA

What exactly are you trying to do?
You can access some of the values with Session.IsCookieless
and Session.Mode

Thanks for your reply.

Am trying to seee if the session state is "InProc", for we need to take some
Serialization decisions based on them. Session.Mode would need
HttpContext.Current and we need to read the settings even in the destructor
(finalize) methods of some classes and they'd not have the HttpContext. So,
is there a way to read the Config without the current HttpContext?

TIA
Krishnan

Hi, Krishnan.

You don't have to read web.config to get the Session Mode.

You can read the current Session State Mode with

Page.Session.Mode

GetSessionMode.aspx:
--------------------------
<%@ Page Language="VB" %>
<script runat="server">
sub Page_Load(obj as object, e as eventargs)
lblMessage.Text = Page.Session.Mode.ToString()
End Sub
</script>
<html>
<body>
<asp:Label id="lblMessage" runat="server"/></asp:Label> <br />
</body>
</html>

Thanks for that, but as I had said in my post, there are situations when I
will not have the HttpContext. So, is there a way to still get the
SessionState?

Thanks

I don't think that you can get to the Session mode
without going through the httpContext.

Could you, maybe, retrieve the sessionState mode at any earlier point
where you *do* have access to the httpContext, and save the returned
sessionState mode to a variable which you would be able to retrieve
when you don't have access to the context ?

As a last resort: the web.config *is* just an xml file, so you could
read in the file and get at the setting yourself. That is, if you just use
*one* web.config ...

Just curious: why would you want to know about the Session.Mode if
you can't access the Session itself at that point?

Thanks for the reply. We resorted to storing the Session Mode in the class.

We need it since we store a com object "as is" into a session case of an
InProc session mode and the same cannot be destroyed in the destructor of
the class (destructor gives no HttpContext as it is a CLR call), but in case
of a StateServer, since the object is serialized, it can be released.

Thanks again.
