Question

I need unique session id but each it’s new unless you write something in it.
The fix looks like this Session["stubkey"] = "fsdufhusd" in page load method.
It’s pretty odd to me. Is there any way to init session or probably I do something wrong with configs?

thanks in advance.

The SessionID documentation recommends the same work-around you’re using:

When using cookie-based session state,
ASP.NET does not allocate storage for
session data until the Session object
is used. As a result, a new session ID
is generated for each page request
until the session object is accessed.
If your application requires a static
session ID for the entire session, you
can either implement the Session_Start
method in the application’s
Global.asax file and store data in the
Session object to fix the session ID,
or you can use code in another part of
your application to explicitly store
data in the Session object.
