One comment about the implementation of Session

[antonyliu2002]

I think it is a bad idea to implement session as a bag of string pairs.
That is, it is not a good idea to force both a key and its value to be
of type String.

It has no problem for most web controls. For example, for TextBox(es),
we can have the following in the session bag:

"txtFirstName": "John"
"txtLastName": "Doe"

But, the current session implementation is not handy when we have to
store ListItem(s) of a multiple ListBox.

For example, if I have on my web this multi-select ListBox (whose ID is
lstbxFood):

Select your favorite food:

Hamberger
Pizza
Icecream
French Fries
Yogurt

And suppose, a user selects the first 3 items: Hamberger, Pizza and
Icecream.

Then, we have a little problem storing in the session all 3 selected
items for the key "lstbxFood".

So, it would be nice if the value of a key in the session can be some
kind of container which can hold multiple objects.

What do you think?

This is actually already what your suggested (the value is an object, not a
string).
