Re: Checking for state's existence

What exactly are you checking, and why?
 >>> Key values; for example the id of the person logged in which used
throughout the app for audit logging.

 The "session" is normally handledautomatically by ASP.NET, and anything
you add to the "session state" will
> stay there until the session itself is torn down because of (for example) a

 >>> Lets assume Im not. That if the session has expired the key value
is gone and attempts to use it to log blow up.
