Question

I want to save basket data into the session, but I’ve found that the session is not persisting. When I debugged the session, I realized that SessionID changes between requests.

I have the following on my master page:

protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e) { 
    base.OnInit(e); 
    Session["B2C_Session"] = true; 
}

Why would this happen? What causes it and what can I do to fix it? I am using .net 3.5.

By default ASP.NET applications store session id’s in a cookie. If the client is refusing that cookie, then the session id won’t be stored so you won’t have a way to tie that client to a specific session.

Ensure that the client is accepting the cookie so the session can be persisted.
