session ... critical section problem in vb+asp dot net

hi all,

i m developing web applicaiotn with vb+asp dot net. i ve many links at my page and i m also maintaining session. if the user of my applicaton clicks one link that sends request to the server. before the next page is loaded, user clicks another link. and so on...

i think for each server request, a separate thread is created to respond client but same session is shared by each server thread. so there is possibility that session access by more than one simultaneous client requests make its state inconsistent.

i m facing same problem.

if i wait for one request to get completed. then fine but if i click the links randomly without waiting. then session beomes inconsistent.

any clue, how to face this session critical section problem.

regards

I've never hear of that happening because by the time to user sees the page the request has been prosessed in memory and a completed verison downloaded to the user to view. So you don't get this issue.

What you are probably seeing is a session affinity issue with web gardens running on a windows 2003 server. This is just a guess since I don't know your configuration. I would check your server and see if they are running windows 2003, if it is check to see if the web gardens are running.

If they are you will need to database your sessions.

BTW: A single session stay with a user unless your using a web farm / web garden configuration.

hth,
