ASP.NET session vs session state and cookies vs cookie less -
please me whether understanding right. asp.net sessions stored on web server , no cookies whatsoever used this. asp.net if configured use session webconfig->session state: can configure either stateconnection or sqlconnection. asp.net if configured use session state (either stateconnection or sqlconnection) when user uses sessions in code cookies on client machine used unless specify in webconfig cookieless=true if use <sessionstate cookieless="true" /> default stateconnection set localhost when talking session in many dynamic web sites want store user data between http requests (because http stateless , can't otherwise associate request other request), don't want data readable / editable @ client side because don't want client play around data without passing through (server side) code. the solution store data server side, give "id", , let client know (and pass @ every http request) id. there go, sessions implemented. or
