State management options

[rechekcom00]

Hi All

I'm new to ASP.Net development so please go easy on me. My question is with state management. There seems to be a lot of options ASP.Net provides. One that interestes me is ASP.Net session state model, which according to what I've read has three modes:
1. In-process
2. State Server
3. SQL Server

Can I use option 3 (State mode of SQL Server) with this hosting service?

Thanks in advance

Greg,

you can only use in-proc on our server.

SQL server is not supported because of security issue. ASP.net hardcoded the database name used for state management, that means if we were to offer state sql server, all customer's state would be kept in the same database and every site will have access to other's session info.

MS came out with a hotfix that resolve this problem but it is not a recommended install. This problem will be resolved with the next service pack. We will reconsider offering this again then.
