Explanation:
Mode:
The mode setting supports three options: inproc, sqlserver, and stateserver.
As stated earlier, ASP.NET supports two modes:
in process and out of process. There are also two options for out-of-process state management: memory based (stateserver), and SQL Server based (sqlserver). We'll discuss implementing these options shortly.
Cookieless:
The cookieless option for ASP.NET is configured with this simple Boolean setting.
Timeout: This option controls the length of time a session is considered valid. The session timeout is a
sliding value;
on each request the timeout period is set to the current time plus the timeout value
Sqlconnectionstring:
The sqlconnectionstring identifies the database connection string that names the database used for mode sqlserver.
Server:
In the out-of-process mode stateserver, it names the server that is running the required Windows NT service: ASPState.
Port:
The port setting, which accompanies the server setting, identifies the port number that corresponds to the server setting for mode stateserver.
