Overview

This article explains how to configure a Visual WebGui application to work without using cookies.

Details

To be able to deploy your Visual WebGui application to an environment where HTTP cookies are not allowed (to be saved), you will need to configure your application to be "cookieless".

Configuring your application this way will cause the client session data that is normally saved to a cookie, to be appended to the URL of the application as URL arguments. This will then allow the application to be fully operable without the use of cookies.

To configure your application to work without cookies, you need to add to the sessionState XML element of your Web.config file the cookieless attribute with the value true, like so:

<sessionState cookieless="true" />
