Session scope
In ASP, session scope refers to the duration data is maintained and accessible for a particular user session. A web development session is the period between a user’s initial request to a web application and their final interaction or until the session times out due to inactivity.
ASP provides a session object, allowing developers to store and retrieve data specific to a user session. This data can be accessed throughout the session, allowing for stateful behavior within the stateless HTTP protocol. The session data, typically in memory, is stored on the server side and is associated with a unique session identifier (often stored in a cookie on the client side) that enables the server to identify the user’s session for subsequent requests.
