being generated.

Thomson,

Once the session is started you could immediately get the session id on the
first page the user enters using Session.SessionID.

If you need to get the session id sooner you could use the Session_Start
subroutine in the Global.asax file that fires as soon as the session is
created.

If you mean the next available session ID then no, ASP.NET uses highly
random 120-bit numbers for its session IDs for security. If you could
predict the next session ID you leave your server open to session hijacking.

No, AFAIK this is similar to a GUID that would be encoded with chars...
