Just trying this tool for writing to this blog.  Yeah, I know there have been tools in this space, i just hadn’t used them yet.

A colleague noted these two articles in her research and I thought this was good information to pass along.   No sense in reiterating the content, just read these two articles (which reference each other).  I’d still like to see at what point you “can” safely rely on the same thread (presumably once execution is inside the actual HttpHandler).

I can’t get into the exact details here, but suffice it to say, that when you stray out of the standard viewstate-sandbox (ie LoadPagestateFromPersistenceMediume & SavePageStateToPersistenceMedium), be very careful.  Once you get viewstate out of that page and you consider users who use multiple browser tabs (yet with the same application session, or worse, new windows launched with Ctrl+N) there are a few subtle design considerations.  This guy’s article provides one solution.   If you also deal with multiple nodes (like a Web Farm), just persist to a shared location (Network share, NAS, whatever).
