Articolo
04/30/2007

Removes all references to inherited session-state store providers, allowing only the session-state store providers that are added by the current add element.

This element is new in the .NET Framework version 2.0.

<clear/>

Attributes and Elements

The following sections describe attributes, child elements, and parent elements.

Attributes

None.

Child Elements

None.

Parent Elements

Element	Description
configuration	Specifies the required root element in every configuration file that is used by the common language runtime and the .NET Framework applications.
system.web	Specifies the root element for the ASP.NET configuration settings in a configuration file and contains configuration elements that configure ASP.NET Web applications and control how the applications behave.
sessionState	Configures session-state settings for the current application.
providers	Contains a collection of custom session-state store providers.

Remarks

The clear element removes all references to inherited session-state store providers in the providers element, allowing only the session-state store providers that are added by succeeding add elements.

The providers element contains a collection of custom session state-store providers. The custom session-state store provider must inherit from the SessionStateStoreProviderBase class.

For information about accessing and modifying configuration values for the sessionState element in application code, see ProviderSettingsCollection and Providers.

Default Configuration

The following default providers element is not explicitly configured in the Machine.config file or in the root Web.config file. However, it is the default configuration that is returned by the application.

<sessionState
   <!-- Attribute settings. -->
>
   <providers>
      <clear />
   </providers>
</sessionState>

Example

The following code example shows how to configure the Web.config file for an ASP.NET application to use a custom session-state store provider. The example clears any existing instances of session-state store providers by using the clear element, before adding the custom instance of the session-state store provider. For information about implementing a session-state store provider and a sample provider, see Implementing a Session-State Store Provider.
