By the way, before I forget, Chapter 8 and Chapter 9 of my story "If it hadn't been for 15 minutes" are done. Its really getting down to the wire now.

Someone at MS agrees

Mike Harsh, who really seems to have quite bit going for himself, posted a comment about InfoPath I couldn't agree more with. Mike says: " As far as useage, I'm not sure I see the market for this app.  I will be interested to see how businesses put it to work. " That makes another MS insider whom I agree with. But you know, I've said my peace a few days ago and should leave it at that. And then again dare I say that I think Don Box who I think indirectly started this last InfoPath go around in the world of NET blogs, at least from afar, has a good deal of P.T. Barnum's blood in his veins (aside from being a brilliant developer). I always thought "COM is Love" was a bit over the top. Now if he had said "NET is love".... Yes yes I know the first quote preceeded NET by many years. Just making a fascetious point.

Here is more.

Increasing the length of a Session in an ASP.NET application is a simple enough process. You can simply edit the sessionState node in web.config or machine.config.

<sessionState mode="InProc" stateConnectionString="tpip=127.0.0.1:42424" sqlConnectionString="data source=127.0.0.1;user id=sa;password="cookieless="false" timeout="20" />

One caveat to this, though, that I wasn't aware of until just recently. ASP.NET also includes automatic worker process recycling. This allows you to set thresholds for memory consumption, number of requests, deadlock detection, and so on. However, if you are using InProc session state, recycling the WP is also going to kill your session state.

<proessModel enable="true" timeout="Infinite" requestLimit="Infinite" requestQueueLimit="5000" restartQueueLimit="10" memoryLimit="60" />

If you're seeing the your session disappear even when it shouldn't be timing out, this is could be the culprit. There are various ways to handle this, depending on whether you're storing conversational state or just some variables that can be fetched again, but it's something to be aware of.

Steve has published a new article in MSDN magazine. His article breaks down nine ways to maintain state in an ASP.NET application.

Another interesting article is Jeff Prosise's "Supporting Database Cache Dependencies in ASP.NET". I guess this is a pretty good work around....maybe V2 will have a more baked in solution.
