How to Generate a new Session ID

Question

Is it possible to generate a new ID for the session using ASP.NET?

I want it to change when someone logs in to my website just before I set their initial session variables.

Answer 1

You can do this using the SessionIdManager class:

SessionIDManager manager = new SessionIDManager();  string newID = manager.CreateSessionID(Context); bool redirected = false; bool isAdded = false; manager.SaveSessionID(Context, newID, out redirected, out isAdded); 

[Code sample is from Anas Ghanem's article]

Answer 2

you can use

SessionIDManager.CreateSessionID Method : returns a unique session identifier that is a randomly generated number encoded into a 24-character string.

Code

SessionIDManager Manager = new SessionIDManager();  string NewID = Manager.CreateSessionID(Context);  string OldID = Context.Session.SessionID; bool redirected = false; bool IsAdded = false; Manager.SaveSessionID(Context, NewID,out redirected, out IsAdded);
