Stateless session

Question

Hi all What does a stateless session means in asp.net ?

Vulpes · Answer

Well HTTP is a stateless protocol and so ASP.NET needs a mechanism for persisting session variables between round trips to the server. The mechanism is known as session state and allows you store variable values as key/value pairs for the duration of the session and then retrieve them using their keys. For example: // store Session[Name] = Eddie; // retrieve string name = (string)Session[Name];
