What is inproc in detail?

Answer 1

InProc Session StateInProc state is considerably faster than either the state server or SQL Server session storage techniques. SQL Server and state server attribute their slowness to serialization/deserialization that happens while reading in/storing out the Session data from the SQL/State server.

. However storing the session state InProc has its own share of limitations. Some of these are

- With each app domain restart Session state is lost

- Process restart will result in loss of Session state data

- If considerable amount of data are stored in Session state, memory consumption for the process may increase to the point of experiencing issues due to high memory. Therefore, the amount of data being stored in Session state and the time frame during which these data need to be stored should be limited as much as possible.

- In case one wants to implement InProc Session state in a web farm scenario ensure we have sticky sessions enabled for the web farm as it involves storing of the session data among processes hosted on multiple servers.
