[thelist] Can I develop .NET 1.1 with VS '05?

[Peter Brunone (EasyListBox.com)]

   Ah... good point.  SessionIDs are GUIDs by nature, and you can't assign them arbitrarily.  Of course if you just store a unique ID in a time-limited cookie and hit the DB for user info, then you don't have to worry about that...
   And yes, ASP.NET has several session modes available, including two that can handle a multi-server environment.
   I'd like to hear the rest of this saga as well.

Am I right in thinking that one possible reason could be the use of 
ASP's built-in sessions? I think I read that these are specific to one 
instance of IIS and are therefore inimical to load-balancing across 
multiple servers.

Is the implication then that .NET can get around this without 
hand-rolling your own session handling though MUNGed querystrings?

Interested for future reference...
