ASP.Net Session State not enabled properly

I'm having trouble getting Session State to work correctly in my ASP.Net application. I've set EnableSessionState="true" in all my <%@ Page %> directives but I still seem to get issued a different Session ID on every page.

I am using a Master Page which I can't find a way to s开发者_如何转开发pecify EnableSessionState for (I assume if the Page using it has Session State then it does?)

I've set the <sessionState> element in my Web.config to use InProc session state with cookies but this seems to have no effect - I am running IIS 7 so I'd expect the <system.web> section to be ignored in favour of the <system.webServer> section and there doesn't seem to be an equivalent config element for session state in this (or it isn't obvious).

I've tried googling for stuff on this but I can't seem to find something that explains exactly what I need to do to get Session State enabled across my entire application and working properly. Any ideas anyone?

My Web.config file is as below and I can post further details if required.

Before anyone moans at me for storing DB settings in AppSettings I should point out that in production I would encrypt the <appSettings> section and that the database account used only has (and needs) read-only privileges on the specific database.

Setting EnableSessionState=true doesn't really achieve much, it's on application-wide by default. To ensure your IIS7 configuration is correct, you can try executing the following command:

appcmd set config /commit:WEBROOT /section:sessionState /mode:InProc

If you're seeing a new SessionID on every page, it could simply be that your client isn't storing/forwarding the session cookie (possibly because of security restrictions on the browser). First verify that you are indeed presenting the session cookie, and that all requests are served from the same domain.

To verify that it's not a cookie issue, you can switch session state to use cookieless mode to see if the correct session is loaded on subsequent requests:

<sessionState cookieless="UseUri" />

---

I was checking the session state parameters from your Web.Config. I believe there is a typo error. Please verify the web.config again and test.....

In the SessionState tag, the cookieless attribute only accepts the value of "true" or "false", but your web.config shows as "UseCookies"

<sessionState mode="InProc" timeout="20" cookieless="UseCookies" />

Please set the value of cookieless to false or true and try again.. Hope this will solve the issue....
