Directory.Move() is destroying my session information

[NickTheNewbie]

I'm using vb.net in ASP.NET with the 2.0 framework.


I'm attempting to rename a directory inside my web app's directory using the Directory.Move() function. Whenever I use this function, though, my session state is destroyed. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

can you post some of the code your trying? Directory.Move on its own shouldn't kill anything in the session object.

more info on this :

basically if your moving the pages that the app is located in (or a dir the app is in) it WILL lose state because of the fact the pages have been "touched" so the app has to re-start.

The option detailed in the link above is less than ideal. I suggest you look at Session Persistance using SQL Server and store the session to a db before your directory.move is called. Then re-load it based on something like a hidden field or a key in the querystring
