ASP Sessions

[GillyInOz]

I'm trying my best to remove all session variables from my web application, and store the data required in an XML doc on the client. However I need to use some session vars temporarily so I can return my normal html then do a second call using SOAP to get the xml and store it on the client.

Can IIS be trusted to 'clean up' properly by just using

set session("tmpVar&quot=nothing

or

session("tmpVar&quot=""

or do I need a full on session.abandon ?

thanks

Well since your sending all your information back and forth accross the Internet I think it would be safe to "trust" IIS to clean up session information.

I'm only sending what is required for a call then generating html based on those parameters. I'm just uncertain how IIS handles session variables once they are declared empty or as nothing. I know Java has a 'Garbage Collector' to do this. Does anyone know if IIS has an equivalent ?

actually found what I was looking for at

I can use session.remove("tmpVar&quot to clear it

thanks for the post anyway
