i m building website in asp.net when i run my pages i expect that my brower should display url like this http://www.fixpic.com/uploo.aspx

but instead of this it displays http://www.fixpic.com/(S(vqr0tz45005i2c450544ut45))/uploo.aspx

what could be the reasons behind it,,might be coz i m trying to make sessions but if that is the case than how can i remove these long characters from the url

Reset to default

you have set it to use the url for sessions (cookieless) so this is the sessionid, you will see a line similar to the one vbelow, if you want to set the seesion back to cookies just remove the cookieless=true

<sessionState mode="InProc" cookieless="true"/>

if i add this line then would it make any difference in my code,i mean like would there be any problem making sessions
the client will need to allow cookies but thats about it i think, most browsers allow cookies by default i think

This is because url is used to track session id instead of cookies. This setting is normally configured in web.config by the sessionState element. If you use cookieless="true" it will use urls. Set it to false and cookies will be used.

you mean then it will use cookies to get the session id
Yes, it will set a cookie on the client that could look like this: ASP.NET_SessionId=vqr0tz45005i2c450544ut45.
ohh i got it,it means if cookieless=true,then cookies are not created and session id is retrieved from the url itself however if it is false then a separate cookie is created for and sessionid is retrieved from there.
thnx for the reply and making me understand:-)
