What are Session State Modes depending on various storage options for session data in ASP.NET

There are different Session State Modes depending on various storage options for session data in ASP.NET

• InProc: It is default mode. It has application scope. It stores session state in memory on the Web server. It is the only state mode that supports the Session_OnEnd event.
• StateServer: It stores session state in a separate process called the ASP.NET state service. State Server mode ensures that session state is preserved if the Web application is restarted
• SQL Server: It stores session state in a SQL Server database. It ensures that session state is preserved if the Web application is restarted.
• Custom: It specifies that you want to store session state data using a custom session state store provider.
• Off
