Question

I am debugging my ASP.Net app using Visual Studio 2012 (IE10) and looks like the data that I have stored onto localStorage disappears after each debug session. Here is what I am doing

Store some data to localStorage using

localStorage.setItem(KEY_MY_OBJECT, JSON.stringify(myObject));

I access them using

JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem(KEY_MY_OBJECT))

The get & set works fine in the same debug session but the local storage for my key is null on the subsequent debug sessions (after closing the current browser window and hitting F5 to restart a new debug session). From my understanding of the localStorage, I was expecting the data to persist even after closing the window.

Here is how the Url looks while debugging

http://localhost/AppName/AppDashboardDashboard.aspx?&param1=param1value

Could you please let me know if I am missing something here? Or will contents of localStorage not persist across debug sessions?

Looks like an issue with IE10 and debugging. It worked fine in release mode
