Hi All, I am new to this but I have read that session variables should be avoided where possible. Mainly due to performance and scale-ability
So what are the alternatives? Here is what I have..... When the user logs in and authenticates I have an "User Object". This hold the basic data about the user I then use in other pages the user visits. At present I store that object in a Session variable Session.Add("UserDetails", objUser) And retrieve it on the next page visited Dim objUser As UserDetails = CType(Session.Item("UserDetails"), UserDetails ) I do not always know the next page the user may visit. What are my alternatives to this method? Also if I am using the same details from page to page should I recall these detail from the database each time or would it be better practice to store them in an object and pass from page to page?
