Hi Venkat,

Session objects are stored in memory alotted to IIS worker process (aspnet_wp). Sessions expired after a specified amount and time and are removed from the memory.

It depends on which mode of session you are using. There are two type of session mode 1) inproc and 2 ) outproc and in outproc we are having stateserver session mode and sql server session mode. When we used inproc, session object stored on "in memory of worker process (w3wp.exe)" , it will expire when the session is time out or recycle of worker process. For state server, session is stored in a external process (aspnet_state.exe) and for sql server its stored inside the database. Hope this will help you !!

i read your answer.its very helpful to me.
thanks
