Session Management can be achieved in two ways
1)InProc
2)OutProc
OutProc is again two types
1)State Server
2)SQL Server
InProc
Adv.:
1) Faster as session resides in the same process as the application
2) No need to serialize the data DisAdv.:
1) Will degrade the performance of the application if large chunk of data is stored
2) On restart of IIS all the Session info will be lost
State Server
Adv.:
1) Faster then SQL Server session management
2) Safer then InProc. As IIS restart
won't effect the session data
DisAdv.:
1) Data need to be serialized
2) On restart of ASP.NET State Service session info will be lost
3)Slower as compared to InProc
SQL Server
Adv.:
1) Reliable and Durable
2) IIS and ASP.NET State Service
restart won't effect the session data
3) Good place for storing large chunk of data
DisAdv.:
1) Data need to be serialized
2) Slower as compare to InProc and State Server
3)Need to purchase Licensed
version of SQL Server
