Out of Proc Session Mode...

[Lucas Tam]

If I use Out of Proc mode for sessions - do I get all of the in-Proc
session features, but it's just slower?

Also, if I upgrade the DLLs on the server side, will I lose Out of Proc
sessions?

Thanks.

no and no.

out proc session objects are required to be serializable, while inproc can
reference any object.

Thanks for the info - anyway to protect sessions from being deleted while
the DLLs are upgraded?

Hi,

With one difference. All classes you store in the session must be
Serializable (marked with [Serializable]), or you'll get an exception.

Also, if I upgrade the DLLs on the server side, will I lose Out of Proc
sessions?

No, since the sessions are no longer stored along with the recycled
AppDomain.

Also, IIRC, Session_End doesn't fire.
