I am using some session variables on a page that I want to clear using session.clear() if the user decides to reset the form as I am pulling those session variables to run queries when the form posts back to iteself.

My question is: Will session.clear() only clear the session variables associated with that specific session_id (or user) and not clear ALL session variables. I just wanted to be sure that when a user selects to reset the form and I run session.clear() that it only clears their session values and not ALL session values.

Thanks!
 
jet - to do this I always use

Session.RemoveAll

..and though I have never used Session.Clear the two may be equivalent. I would argue that only the unique Session ID is affected, at least in the latter that is the case.
 
Thanks Isadore. I think I may switch over and use session.removeall() because it seems to relate more to what I am doing. After messing with my page a bit though I think that session.clear() has the same effect, but there must be some functional distinction between the two. Thanks.
