.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / June 2007Stopping multiple browsers getting session state
Is it possible to programmatically stop multiple browsers from getting the same session state? The problem I have is that whenever I open a new browse using File- >New Window, the session state gets transferred to this new window. I would like to stop this from happening and redirect to the homepage. Thanks in advance! Unfortunately, no, as this is a property of the browser. You can set up a method to "sync" state, but it is generally more of a pain than it is worth. Technically, you can boot the second browser, but how do you determine it the new instance other than an old, except perhaps "second time user hits same page with same info". Unfortunately, all you can try to do then is pitch the browser. With JavaScript you can alter the way the browser works and stop some things from happening, but I am not certain that is your goal. Now, if this is a testing thing, open a new browser from the menu, not Contol + N.  SignatureGregory A.

Then comparing IDs he could know whether he new window was opened, because the new guid will be generated --- WBR, Michael Nemtsev [.NET/C# MVP].

Exactly. so it helps to prevent the refreshed, afaik --- WBR, Michael Nemtsev [.NET/C# MVP].

Also, all browsers doesn't even use separate browser instances. If you start a new instance of the FireFox program, for example, it will instead open a new window in the existing instance. If you want any information to be page specific rather than session specific, you have to send the information within the page itself.
