will my session get lost using modal dialog?

B

bill

I am developing a replacement of a VB6 web class application, using VB.NET
2005 web forms to replace the VB6 dll application.

When debugging the VB6 web application, I found that if I have two or more
browsers open on the same client, and I open a window using ShowModalDialog,
when the dialog window returns to the dll my debug session will take the
session.sessionID from one of the other browser instances. This causes
problems with session variables.

I am using IE version 6. This bug was supposedly fixed in IE 4.01 sp2,
according to Q196383, but I can reproduce the problem consistently.

So far I haven't been able to reproduce the problem using ASP.NET 2. I open
a dialog box using ShowModalDialog with multiple other browsers open to the
same site, and I post back to the dialog and save data. I watch the session
ID, and it doesn't change to the session ID of one of the other open
browsers (like it DOES in the VB6 app).

I want to know if I can feel safe that some variation of this bug won't
surface and nail me in the future using ASP.NET.

Thanks
Bill
