ASP Session Object
The Session object is used to store information about, or change settings for
a user session. Variables stored in the Session object hold information about one single
user, and are available to all pages in one application.
Examples
Set and return the LCID
This example demonstrates the "LCID" property. This property sets or
returns an integer that specifies a location or region. Contents like date,
time, and currency will be displayed according to that location or region.
Return the SessionID
This example demonstrates the "SessionID" property. This property returns
a unique id for each user. The id is
generated by the server.
A session's timeout
This example demonstrates the "Timeout" property. This example sets
and returns the timeout (in minutes) for the session.
Session Object
When you are working with an application, you open it, do some changes and then
you close it. This is much like a Session. The computer knows who you are. It
knows when you start the application and when you end. But on the internet there is one
problem: the web server does not know who you are and what you do because the HTTP address doesn't maintain
state.
ASP solves this problem by creating a unique cookie for each user. The cookie
is sent to the client and it contains information that identifies the user. This
interface is called the Session object.
The Session object is used to store information about, or change settings for
a user session. Variables stored in the Session object hold information about one single
user, and are available to all pages in one application. Common information
stored in session variables are name, id, and preferences. The server creates a
new Session object for each new user, and destroys the Session object when the session expires.
The Session object's collections, properties, methods, and events are
described below:

WAPT
is a load, stress and performance testing tool for websites and web-based applications.
In contrast to "800-pound gorilla" load testing tools, it is designed to minimize the learning
curve and give you an ability to create a heavy load from a regular workstation.
WAPT is able to generate up to 3000 simultaneously acting virtual users using standard hardware configuration.
Virtual users in each profile are fully customizable. Basic and NTLM authentication methods are supported.
Graphs and reports are shown in real-time at different levels of detail, thus helping to manage the testing process.
