Losing Session vars on Redirect - HELP

[Guest]

All the sudden my app has started to loose Session values after a
Response.Redirect to another page in the same project. Ive read several post
about setting the Terminate Boolean to false to solve this problem, but it
hasnt work. On top of that it seems total random.

I have a start.aspx page that all other web application call to begin the
process. This start page creates needed Sessions and other miscellaneous
tasks, and then redirects to another page that uses the session data.

This only seems to be affecting me when Im using a model window to redirect.
Now I know model windows open a new window when something in them causes a
post back (and we figure a way to solve that problem long ago), but this is
happening before the page is rendered.

Placing breakpoints in the code shows that Response.Redirect is firing off
Session_Start in the global asax. Overriding the browsers cookie handing to
allow session cookies works, but it also configured as cookieless=false in
the web.config for the sessionState, so even if I didn’t override the browser
cookie handling, why is it working sporadically (very sporadically actually)

Any ideas. Im using C# and VS2005?

Each browser instance starts its own Session.

I realize that. But this is starting a new session in the same window. It
should start a new session with the window.open, but not on a redirect to
another page within the project. And whats worse is, its random. Mostly
starts a new session, but about 20% its just fine.

Have you checked the event log to make sure something in the redirect isn't
causing the site to crash and therefore restart the ASP.NET worker process /
site?

Is the Modal browser window calling Response.Redirect?
