Is one session state mode better than another?

Ross

As anything else this is always a trade off. I would suggest to use inproc 
until you know why you would want another one (load balancing, surviving to 
restarts etc...).

InProc is best when:
	1) You don't have a lot of simultaneous users (1000+)
	2) You don't have a server farm
	3) You don't have a lot of data to store per user

Out of Proc (StateServer) is next best when you exceed the above 
limitations, but:
	1) Your "session stated" data is not that important to need SQL 
persistence.
	2) You don't mind losing the data if the server restarts
	3) You need faster performance than SQL Server gives you
	

Out of Proc (SQL) is best choice for out of Proc because:
	1) SQL Persistence gives you reliable storage


Keep in mind that the performance goes from (best to worst) 
InProc->StateServer->SQL

Peter,

Thanks for the links.  Even after placing the <Serializable()> tag in front 
of every 'Partial Class' statements on every aspx page in my site, I still 
get the standard Unable to serialize the session state' error message when 
loading ASP Configuration Administrator.  I've also already run the 
aspnet_regsql.exe, InstallSqlState.sql and aspnet_regiis.

What else do I need to do?

Ross
