No, a crash in a web application will cause the process running the website to restart and therefore lose all of the session data.<br />
The alternative is to store session information in sql server so it can be retrieved after a crash.

Dear jacko72<br />
My question is about extracting the information from the client PC, not the server.

Dear jacko72
My question is about extracting the information from the client PC, not the server.

<div>
Session state is stored on the server not on the client, a client based solution would be to use cookies.

<div>
Yes session state is stored on the web-server but even that web-server would use cookies to identify between different users. &nbsp;Right ? &nbsp; <br />
I am trying get that information (cookie) after the failure.<br />
<br />
Please bare with me for the silly questions / lack of proper terminology, but I am new to the web programming.

I have a web application written in C#, ASP.NET.<br />
The application is not stable and sometimes crashes when users are using it.<br />
After the crash the user brings up the application's logon screen again.<br />
I am storing the session data in the Session object provided by ASP.NET.<br />
Question : <br />
Is it possible to retrieve information of the previous session (the one that crashed) when new logon screen is loading ?

ASP.NET Session data after crash

The successor to Active Server Pages, ASP.NET websites utilize the .NET framework to produce dynamic, data and content-driven web applications and services. ASP.NET code can be written using any .NET supported language. As of 2009, ASP.NET can also apply the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern to web applications

ASP.NET

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.
