ASP Session Object

A Session object stores information about, or change settings for a user session.

More Examples
Set and return the LCID
Set or return an integer that specifies a location or region. Contents like date, time, and currency
will be displayed according to that location or region.

Return the SessionID

Return a unique id for each user. The id is generated by the server.

A session's timeout
Set and return the timeout (in minutes) of a session.

Session Object
When you are working with an application on your computer, you open it, do some changes and
then you close it. This is much like a Session. The computer knows who you are. It knows when
you open the application and when you close it. However, on the internet there is one problem:
the web server does not know who you are and what you do, because the HTTP address doesn't
maintain state.

ASP solves this problem by creating a unique cookie for each user. The cookie is sent to the
user's computer and it contains information that identifies the user. This interface is called the
Session object.

The Session object stores information about, or change settings for a user session.

Variables stored in a Session object hold information about one single user, and are available to
all pages in one application. Common information stored in session variables are name, id, and
preferences. The server creates a new Session object for each new user, and destroys the Session
object when the session expires.

The Session object's collections, properties, methods, and events are described below:
