[thelist] MS SharePoint Server Programming Books....

[Anthony Baratta]

Any recommendations on a book that explains ASP programming with 
SharePoint? About as far as I've been able to understand is:

	Set objWksp = CreateObject("CDO.KnowledgeWorkSpace")

Not much else seems to be making sense to me today. ;-P

<tip Subject="Abandoning Sessions with ASP" Author="Anthony Baratta">

Be careful how you abandon sessions. If you use the Session.Abandon, you 
are basically using the scorched earth equivalent to closing things down. 
This function call destroys everything and can cause the browser to server 
communication to freak out if the session cookie is completely destroyed.

I've found it better to clear the specific session itself by setting it to 
nothing (for objects) or Empty (for strings). Or you can iterate through 
all the session objects clearing them out in a targeted manner.

e.g.

for each strKey in Session.Contents
     if not isEmpty(Session(strKey)) then
         if isObject(Session(strKey)) then
             Set Session(strKey) = Nothing
         end if
         Session(strKey) = Empty
     end if
next

This process will clear out all your created session objects, but leave the 
"master" session cookie intact - keeping the browser and server 
communication "open".
