Answer / braj bhasker singh

Four Types of Session Types-

1. InProc mode- which stores session state in memory on the
Web server. This is the default.
2.StateServer mode- which stores session state in a
separate process called the ASP.NET state service. This
ensures that session state is preserved if the Web
application is restarted and also makes session state
available to multiple Web servers in a Web farm.

3.SQLServer mode- stores session state in a SQL Server
database. This ensures that session state is preserved if
the Web application is restarted and also makes session
state available to multiple Web servers in a Web farm.

4.Custom mode- which enables you to specify a custom
storage provider.

5. Off mode- which disables session state.
