I'm experimenting with creating a crude, proof-of-concept session state store provider in ASP.Net. But I've got a problem and I'm not sure what to do about it. The website works properly when using the InProc provider. The Session_Start in
global.
asax is called on session creation as it should. But not if I implement my own provider. The Session_Start method from
global.
asax isn't being called at all if a new session is being created (that is, I delete the session state file).
Am I missing something important here?
