	Finalize()	(Inherited from Object.)

	GetHashCode()	(Inherited from Object.)

Remarks

Works in a manner simuliar to the ASP.Net session. UII used to use the conext in a more string oriented manner. For backward compatibility that will still work but use the Context object for the framework and new applications. Use the GetContext or SetConext methods or the ContextInformation property to transfer the context back and forth between XML and the object.
