I'm working on some ASP.NET 2.0 stuff with 2.0 Beta 1 Refresh, and I noticed something. 

The web.config from a VB ASP.NET app is on the left.  The web.config from a C# ASP.NET app is on the right. Here's some thoughts:

• We know the customProvider will allow one to write their own SQL Session Store.  This is known, but not documented yet.
• lockAttributes is new. Not sure what that's about.
• On the right, the C# web.config XSD is out of sync with the VB.NET web.config XSD, and we see a few new attributes.
• regenerateExpiredSessionId - This new attribute will force a re-gen of any old session ids. Previous versions of ASP.NET would start a fresh session with the provided id remaining the same.
• allowCustomSqlDatabase allows you to have more than one ASP.NET Session State database per box, and each Application can be assigned to one by specifying Initial Catalog= or Database= in the strangely missing sqlConnectionString attribute.
