Session Id changes in ASP.NET MVC on every new page request

I faced and issue in ASP.NET MVC application where the value of SessionID variable changes on consecutive page requests. The reason is either you don't have a Global.asax file in your solution, or you have a global.asax in your solution without the definition of session end and session start. So the web server actually doesn't take care of session start and end event per application basis, and it generates a new key on every page request. You should have a Global.asax in your project and it shall have following two functions added:        protected void Session_Start()         { }         protected void Session_End()         { }      This should work perfectly.......

Managing Crawl Rules in SharePoint 2013

It's very simple to configure crawling rules in SP 2013 as it was in 2010. Lets have a quick walk through of it. Crawl rules are used to specfiy detailed logic to the crawler while content crawling. There are situations where we don't want to crawl a particular content or we want exceptional content to be crawled inside that. There are many option available. Prevent content on a site from being crawled.  For example, if you created a content source to crawl  http://www.ks.com , but you do not want the search system to crawl content from the subdirectory  http://www.ks.com/downloads , create a crawl rule to exclude content from that subdirectory. Crawl content on a site that would be excluded otherwise.  For example, if you excluded content from  http://www.ks.com/downloads  from being crawled, but you want content in the subdirectory  http://www.ks.com/downloads/content  to be crawled, create a crawl rule to include content from that subdirectory.
