frames and asp.net

[my cats, Gag and yak]

Regarding my previous post and a reply:

regarding frames, in 2.0 or more recent, does each frame have it's own
session? If yes, then how to get around that?

Don't use frames - they're not needed in ASP.NET.

Or, if you really can't get your head round that and absolutely must use
framesets:

My website, written in dotnet 1.1 csharp, uses frames and neither IE 6 or IE
7 lose session variables in the framed page ( unless reclaimed after a
session timeout ).

Use VS 2008 professional to convert to 3.5 and the framed page loses session
variable better than a submarine with screen doors.

How are frames not needed?

I are confoosed.


Thank you for your time to help me to understand this.

Frames are typically a really bad idea, but they, in and of themselves,
should have no bearing on session state at all.

Use VS 2008 professional to convert to 3.5 and the framed page loses
session variable better than a submarine with screen doors.

I'm guessing the issue isn't frames but something else in your codebehind
that failed to properly convert to 3.5

To answer that, we need to know why you are using frames to begin with. 90%
of the time, there's a better alternative to the solution that one uses
frames for.
