Storing Object State in an Asp.net application without using Session

Question

In an Asp.net2.0 application I have stored the object state in the session. The object state will be changing frequently. The size of the object is also large. Will this lead to "server error" in the application?

And also suggest whether there is any other way to store the state of the object which is large in size.

And define how many visitors you expect: large object * few visitors = still reasonably memory consumption. — Hans Keﬆing

I would highly recommend that you persist this to your database and pull the parts out that you need, when you need it.

this seems the most sensible.

If the object is application and not user specific then you could store it in the Application State.

Application["ObjectName"] = Object;

@Karthik: Then what about the Cache, persisted with a user specific key?

Karthik Over a year ago

but the values will be changing frequently as it is a real time application. so, will cache be useful for that?,

@Karthik: You update the cache with the latest instance of an object when you change its state (if its not a reference type) and simply access the cached instance from places that require 'reading' of the object. And how large is large?
