I finally managed to add this project on sourceforge … here is the link

A couple of days ago I received an email from Steven Davis. He proposed some brilliant enhancements to the MySQL session state store provider. Thanks to him, I am able to provide a new release of it today. New features he incorporated into the provider are: added cluster db support: the ability to retry within a cluster of servers, the web.config can then use connectionStringList="," fixed timeout Minutes to TotalMinutes changed namespace to Kimpel.

As Joel (original URL https://cid-a4e6342ee2ff07cb.profile.live.com/) and Ciprian Tarta (original URL https://cid-9e17649272bd0cd7.profile.live.com/) mentioned, the code for the MySQL session state store provider contained a little bug in the RemoveItem method. I fixed this bug and also tried to re-format the document. You can download the document here: https://www.kimpel.com/FileDownloader.aspx?file=MySqlSessionStateStore v.0.2.zip. Enjoy!

As I mentioned earlier here, my website ultimately is .NET ready . Since I have quite a number of photos online that are off the record, I wanted to ‘protect’ them using forms authentication (within the former web hosting package developed in PHP I was using .htaccess and .htpassword files in order to protect complete directories). So, from my professional experience, I know that saving data in session is feasible. However, the problem comes with a clustered environment that you usually run into in production environments.
