My WebConfig include Following Statement.

    <sessionState mode="SQLServer"
      cookieless="true"
      regenerateExpiredSessionId="true"
      timeout="30"
      allowCustomSqlDatabase="true"
      sqlConnectionString="Data Source=hostingServer;Initial         catalog=MyDatabase;User Id=MyUser;password=MyPassword;"
      stateNetworkTimeout="60"/>

I have run aspnet_regsql.exe. It asked me about the server and login detail after that it created aspNret_TableNames.

Please guide me.

    I believe you must have used the aspnet_regsql.exe application which then starts a wizard and then adds various aspnet_* tables to your tables.

    If so then again restart the same wizard and then choose the remove option to remove all those tables from the database.

    Now run this command:

    aspnet_regsql.exe -ssadd -d <Your Database> -sstype c -S <Server> -U <Username> -P <Password>

    This will then add two tables to your database, namely ASPStateTempApplications & ASPStateTempSessions.

    Modify your web.config file to include the following configuration:

    <sessionState
    mode="SQLServer"
    allowCustomSqlDatabase="true"
    sqlConnectionString="Data Source=Server;Initial Catalog=Database;User ID=UserId;Password=Password"
    cookieless="false" timeout="20" />

    NOTE:
    1. I have assumed that you want to store session within your applications database. If you want to maintain the session database separately then run the above command without the “-d” parameter. This will create a new ASPState database with two table that I have specified above. And finally you can specify the name of this database in your configuration.

    Hope this helps 🙂
