    Accessing Session State in User Control

    Hi,

    I have a very simple user control that sets a session variable, however when I host it in umbraco I am getting the following error:

     

    Session state can only be used when enableSessionState is set to true, either in a configuration file or in the Page directive.

    I have updated the  web.config as follows however the error still occurs.  I am running IIS7.

    <sessionState mode="InProc" stateConnectionString="tcpip=127.0.0.1:42424" sqlConnectionString="data source=127.0.0.1;Trusted_Connection=yes" cookieless="false" timeout="20" />
    <pages enableEventValidation="false" enableSessionState="true">

     

    Any ideas?

     

    Thanks,

    Aaron

    what version of IIS are you using?   If you are using IIS7 with extensionless URLs you will need to modify the modules tag in the IIS7.  For some reason with extensionless URLs the Session State does not get initialized.  To ensure that the Session State is initialized everytime you need to add runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="True" to the modules tag in the system.webServer section of the web.config II7.  it should look like this.

    <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="True">

    Hope that sorts out your problems.

    Peter

    Pls note: Don't type "True", type "true" indstead. "True" returns the error: "

    <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="True"> to <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true">

    My problem is still not fixed. But it sounds interesting to me if Umbraco simply overrides my connection string. I have tried with real many combinations including the one used by my Visual Web Developer. Nothing works!

    runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="True" this keyword has performance issues as well so keep in mind.
