IIS 5 session and Asp.Net session

Question

If we open IIS 5 Manager and right click on virtual directory --> select Properties so that new window opens up --> click Home Directory tab --> click Configuration, so that again new window opens --> and if in this new window we select Options tab, we are then presented with Enable Session state option.

Since Asp.Net already supports session, I was wondering how do IIS 5 session and Asp.Net session relate to each other?

thanx

That is for classic ASP session state.

They are not compatible.

By classic Asp session state you mean that IIS session works only with Asp pages, but it doesn't work with Asp.net pages? – SourceC Apr 19 '09 at 23:43
ASP.NET implement its own Session system. – FlySwat Apr 19 '09 at 23:45
