In our development we have not seen this, however this is
how we usually code it:

1. After our user successfully logs in we create the
session variables we need: Session.Add("varname", "initial
value")

2. We use redirecttomobilepage(url) a lot; especially
after a mobile form has posted via a command button and we
are satisfied with the results.

3. On subsequent pages we use the values (example):
gThisUsersShirtSize = myDB.GetUserShirtSize(Session.Item
("dblShirtSize"))

4. We validated that we are not losing the session
variable information (ancient debugging technique) by
dumping out some session variable values on the page to
which we have just redirected ourselves. For example, on
the page_load event of the new page we set the .text
property of a label to be the value of the session
variable.. that way we know we didn't lose it.

5. For sanity purposes, we have a section of our
web.config file commented out that includes a list of
every session variable we are using and it's purpose.

Good luck,

Tom
