Hi everybody,

Has anyone changed the session state in web.config programatically
through the applications. Any Help will be appreciated.

Thanks.
 
You can load up web.config into an XML dom, manipulate it, and save it back.
This will however restart the application, and all current sessions will be
dropped.
 
If you make any changes to the web.config file and save it while the app is
running, the app will restart, losing any Application and/or Session data
that currently exists.

Hi Marina,

I am aware of the application restarting. I do not ahve a problem with
it. What I thought was there was a .net class like ConfigurationSetting
which I can use to load the session state like
Configuration.GetConfig("system.web/sessionState") and then manipulate
it and save it. I was not sure how to do that. Was wondering if you
could helo me.

Thanks.
 
Well, it's a text file. Just open, parse, and change it, then save it back.

Yes, I did tell you how to do it. Load it up into an xml dom, change it, and
save it back.

The configuration classes are meant for read only access. You are not really
supposed to change it from the application itself, so no such methods were
provided.
