Question

I need to know how to configure the .config to manage Session state in SQL Server

Answer 1

First you need to create a Session database. In order to do this:

1. Look for the aspnet_regsql.exe
2. Run this command aspnet_regsql.exe -S [ServerName] -E -ssadd -sstype p

Where ServerName is your server name.

This will create this database ASPState

Now the configuration on the web.config

Add this sentence over

<sessionState allowCustomSqlDatabase="false" mode="SQLServer" sqlCommandTimeout="7200" sqlConnectionString="Server=SERVERNAME;User ID=User;Password=Password;" timeout="120" />

sqlCommandTimeout=”7200″ = 2hours and timeout=”120″ = 2hours
