Session variables

Hi,
Is there any inconvenient using session variables (about 10, containing
string), for a website having about 100 simultaneous users ?
Thanks for your opinion !"Marine" <none@.none.org> wrote in message

IMO, no...

That's a pretty frugal use. ( 100 x 10 )
My only comment would be... do these values have anything in common?
Or are they disjoint?
If some of them are in common...then you might want to create a small
wrapper object, and put that into the session, instead of a bunch of
disjoint values.
public class EmployeeStuff
string FavoriteColor (encapsulated as a property)
string JobTitle(encapsulated as a property)
string CubicleNumber (encapsulated as a property)
Session["CurrentEmployee"] = new EmployeeStuff(); //Put an item into the
Session
EmployeeStuff es = Session["CurrentEmployee"] as EmployeeStuff;//put if out
of the Session
Create a little wrapper object (as above), and put that into session instead
of disjointed things like this:
Session["CurrentEmployeeFavoriteColor"]
Session["CurrentEmployeeJobTitle"]
Session["CurrentEmployeeCubicleNumber"]
Aka, that's kind sloppy.
Using the small wrapper class will greatly help with debugging and
maintenance.

It depends on how big the string are and how much RAM you have.
It can be a problem, but again depends.
Wrapping in one object might be less overhead?
