If I have two browser windows hitting the same application (and they are
also sharing a session), is there a way on the server to distinguish the two
windows from one another such that I know if a particular request comes from
window A or window B?
 
Nope.. the Window ID would be on the client, the server would not know
anything about it. It wouldn't even know if it is a "window" per se becuase
all the server gets are http requests.

HTH,

Could JavaScript be used to insert the ID into a hidden input?
 
Hmmm, that's an interesting idea. I can give it a try when I'm back at the
office. Thanks for the input. The other thing I am trying is placing the
unique login token we use (it's actually a bit better than using a window ID
for reasons I won't get into here) onto the response header and pull it off
the request header, but unfortunately it looks like the appended header gets
discarded when you do a Response.Redirect
