My server people are telling me that to keep my application open all day and the sessions active I should use Cookies instead of session variables?

What do you think?

one thing i saw suggested recently is to use a hidden IFRAME on your page that has a page as its source that auto-refreshes, keeping the session alive.

i've also found that using the 'Remember me' feature for logins make the application appear to be still connected without dumping out to a login page when the session expires.

question waspman:

the session you need to keep alive are just the security session variable only?

also IIS/Apache may reset sometime and clean all your session variables.

Yeah it's the reset that's the problem.

I timed it and it seems inconsistant despit what the host people say. So I had to reduce the iframe refresh to 5 mins and it seems OK now thanks.

hope it work, but still in hosting public enviroment
unless your have have you in a private pool.

any application problme for other hosting will reset IIS.
(Welcome to MSsoft)

one easy way is to save the 3 Security variable in a Cookie
and at every page or a Included header/bottom
set the 3 Session variable with the cookies
BUT the login page.

of course cookie expiration with 10-15min

but i hope the iframe refresh work for you.

Anything that dont let your session state die.
a simple

response.write now()

will do the trick.

But how do you make an iframe hidden? Do you set the width and height to 0px?
