Session state can only be used when enableSessionState is set to true,

Following is an email I received regarding SharePoint development. I thought you guys may benefit from the answer one day if you are in to SharePoint Development

Hi Gayan

when I tried to log in and it gave me this error
stating :

Server Error in '/Supresta' Application.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Session state can only be used when enableSessionState is set to true,
either in a configuration file or in the Page directive
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the
current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information
about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.Exception: Session state can only be used when
enableSessionState is set to true, either in a configuration file or in
the Page directive

Source Error:

An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current
web request. Information regarding the origin and location of the

Do I have to enable session in Sharepoint or My application I remember I
have it enabled and I also checked it.

Anyways I really appreciate your help.

I had this problem few times and didn’t get any time to figure out what’s going wrong. But you can use the View state rather than the session state. View state works fine. I will have a look to find out how to get the Session state working.
