Can a single asp.net user make more than one request at a time if the Session is in use?

Question

I am not able to make more than one request at a time in asp.net while the session is active. Why does this limitation exist? Is there a way to work around it?

For reasons Kevin described, users can't access two pages that might write to their session state at the same time - the framework itself can't exert fine-grained control over the locking of the session store, so it has to lock it for entire requests.

To work around this, pages that only read session data can declare that they do so. ASP.NET won't obtain a session state write lock for them:

// Or false if it doesn't need access to session state at all
EnableSessionState="ReadOnly"
