I follow the direction in here How to configure SQL Server to manage ASP.NET sessions to create ASPState db.
I have 2 web application in IIS 7. In IIS web application setting, i go to “Session State” and set session state as “SQL Server” and provide connection string.
In each web application web.config, i add 

<sessionState
       mode="SQLServer"
       allowCustomSqlDatabase="false"
       sqlConnectionString="data source=server;user id=user;password=password"
       cookieless="false"
       timeout="7200"
/>

I create a session , 

Session["Data"] = "test"

in Web App A and go to Web App B in the same browser to print it

Response.Write(Session["Data"]);

It shows NOTHING. I can see there are data in table : ASPStateTempApplications and ASPStateTempSessions under ASPState Database. Also, i dont see any error in event log. Can anyone think anything i may do wrong?

Thanks!!

    You can not get session that belongs to App-A from App-B and vice versa.

    The sessions are connected with the cookies, and the cookies are different between app-a and app-b, are random made. Even if set some how the same cookies then next the database connects session with the Application ID, that are also different for each applications.

    So even if you have the same database, the application id is different, and the cookies are different, and you can not get session from a to b.

    The only possible way to archive that is to make your custom session code, and some how knows that you have the same use on app-A and app-B, so to connected them together.
