How do you work-around the fact that sessions are dropped every time you deploy certain code files to an ASP.NET website? Sometimes we need to deploy a crucial fix in the middle of the day but don't want to boot off all our users for it.
View 3 RepliesI am trying to set a session variable in the global.asax file and keep running into the problem that the Session is null.
I am running my application in VS2008 and using asp.net 3.51.
Here is my code:
1. In my web.config file I have enabled the session state and added the following line;
<sessionState
cookieless="false"
mode="InProc"
timeout="60"
></sessionState>
2. In the Session_Start procedure in the Global.asax file I set the session variable to a default value.
[Code]....
My problem seems to be that when the Application_Error procedure is executed the session state is lost.
Does anyone know why the session state isn't available in the Global.asax file.
On my development machine, the session state data is retained after a post back to the server. (XP VS 2008) (This is true if running from within VS or if running in browser with localhost.)On the deployed test server, the session state is blank in IE, but works in Firefox. (Svr 2003 IIS 6)Both machines are running the exact same code with the exact same imputs and same web.config. There is no code between the post backs that write to the session state.Newest addition to the server would be the consumption of a WCF web service. Could this be a symptom of something missing on the server(s) when trying to connect with WCF? I could not find any information other than installing the 3.0 framework. I have 3.5 SP1 installed on the test server.
View 2 RepliesI have a asp.net application where I am saving off into session the user privilege information. From a grid I am bring up a new window by using the window.open. It seems that it is whiping out the values in session. A temporary bandaid I have placed on it is to recall the database if the value is nothing to reset the user object. I have found all over the internet that this is an issue with the window.open in IE 7 and IE 8. Has anyone else run into this and able to actually fix it?
View 4 RepliesThere are a couple of user's experiences session variable loss after they've clicked a confirm button and their information is email via a relay hosting server. Below, I commented exactly where the session variables get lost.
What could be causing the session variable loss? So far, this only happens to a few users.
Part of the email that gets sent out:

This is weird. In my newly developed chat application, when I invoke Response.Redirect, I am losing my session data. What is particualrly odd is that this sometimes seems to occur after a slight delay, so I reach the page, and then the session info gets lost momentarily thereafter. Mostly though it seems to get lost immediately. I have of course googled this issue, but yet to find anything that speaks to my problem. SessionState is in InProc mode. Session state has been working fine for me until this unexpected problem, so everything is configured right. So far the only workaround I can think of is to use a link instead of a button, and use javascript to call a server-side function on onclick to do the work I need to do before the link gets invoked. Messy, and I'd rather not go that way unless there's no alternative.
Just to preempt one red herring, I do use Response.Redirect(<address>, false).
The problem occurs both on the testing and production servers. I'm running ASP.NET 3.5 on IIS7.
I have an app that worked perfectly in development (Visual Studio 2008 Dev Server/Vista), was setup to use cookieless sessions in the web.config, which worked fine. Now rolled out into production (win2003/IIS6) configured as a Virtual Directory. But I'm having Null session issues after a button click. The problem doesnt persist in FF but in IE8. I tried to change session state to cookies and cookieless (InProc) with no go.

I ve been searching for this on various forums and came through a number of supposed solutions which didnt work for me.
My web form works perfectly for me when on development and after publishing on IIS but when I try to access remotely the session value is always null.
I do these things in the following order and when accessing remotely I always get the exception i throw when session is null.
I debugged it and my list is never null when reaching the assignment point.
[code]....
in webconfig I have the following tag which I saw as an answer in many forums
<sessionState mode="InProc" cookieless="true" timeout="200" />
It's not explicitly written somewhere but I felt so after reading few blogs on ASP.NET MVC. Just got curious and thought of asking it here.
UPDATE: I'm not asking about memory/storage/RAM concerns on server. For them, there is a solution to store session out of process. I know that. I'm curious that, are there any scenarios where we had to use Session in WebForms but we can avoid it now in MVC taking benefit of the nice structured way offered by MVC?
If I change web.config or update dll files, all the current users in a web application lose their session and one may lost all their input.
How can I avoid this issue? How do you deal with this issue?
I have a Session object
Session["MyListObjects"] = null;
When a user hits a button I want to creat a List<string> object and add to session object.
Let's say if user hits the button 10 times, I would get 10 List<string> objects and
add to Session["MyListObjects"] and
Finally I want to read all the List<string> objects from the session object.
i have created a multilanguage site that uses culture to change from one language to another.
the problem is that when i am going from one page to another the varriable session("myCulture") is empty.
I have two radio button list:
*1* report views -- 4 options -- NOT in updatepanel
*2* pagination views -- 2 options -- IS in updatepanel
The situation goes as follows: Refresh WORKS in default setting but when I select *2* radio button options and refresh the page renders the state that the (1) was entered in.
Example: () are the radio buttons
Report Viewing: () (x) () () Pagination View: (x) () REFRESH works!
Report Viewing: () (x) () () Pagination View: () (x) REFRESH fails to display Report Viewing: () (x) () () Pagination View: (x) ()
Report Viewing: () (x) () () Pagination View: (x) () REFRESH works!
OR: () are the radio buttons
Report Viewing: () () (x) () Pagination View: () (x) REFRESH works
Report Viewing: () () (x) () Pagination View: (x) () REFRESH fails to display Report Viewing: () (x) () () Pagination View: () (x)
Report Viewing: () () (x) () Pagination View: () (x) REFRESH works
I am using the session variable to hold the Pagination Viewing option but during page states, I've noticed that when a 2nd option is selected of *2* radio buttons (doesn't matter of 1st or 2nd option was initially selected) that during debugging mode the step over corrects the issue but not the right table viewing. Upon entering Page_Init selection selection index of radio button list returns to 1st option.
I am using session to strore code
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(Request.QueryString["c"]))
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Session["Code"] = Request.QueryString["c"];
else
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Session["Code"] = "GR";
Instead of session,now I want to use cookies.
know much about session management. I used only sessions variables in SignupForm, Forget Password. I dnt know how to code or login and logout via session. What is inproc and outproc.
View 1 RepliesHave not run the ASP.NET Development Server for a while. Today I copied a production website to my workstation and ran it with VS 2008. The following error message popped up. What is the problem with the ASP.NET development Server on my workstation? The website on the Production server still ran okay.Unable to make the session state request to the session state server. Please ensure that the ASP.NET State service is started and that the client and server ports are the same. If the server is on a remote machine, please ensure that it accepts remote requests by checking the value of KEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesaspnet_stateParametersAllowRemoteConnection.
If the server is on the local machine, and if the before mentioned registry value does not exist or is set to 0, then the state server connection string must use either 'localhost' or '127.0.0.1' as the server name.
I would like to reuse in different ASP.net classes the following code :
[Code]....
However i cannot add this code in App_Code because Session is not recognized in .cs classes.
Therefore i need to create resusable asp.net classes which will contain the previous code.
I'm trying to set session variables in one page, and retrieve them in my code file in the page that it posts to.
I keep getting this error. I put the correct namespaces in, and enabledSessionState = true to my application files, but no luck.
Session state can only be used when enableSessionState is set to true, either in a configuration file or in the Page directive. make sure that System.Web.SessionStateModule or a custom session state module is included in the <configuration><system.web><httpModules> section in the application configuration.
I'm just calling a session variable, and I get that error
e.g,
Public AUID As Integer = Convert.ToInt16(Session("AUID"))
I have a user control that I am explicitly calling from an aspx page. In page_load of the aspx page I have the following: myControl = (DynamicTable)Page.LoadControl("../inc/DynamicTable.ascx");
Then in my code where I want it to execute the control, I have this: pnlESDDEnrolled.Controls.Add(myControl);
where pnlESDDEnrolled is the panel I am loading it into for display. So, I execute the aspx page, it links off to the user control, populates the control, returns back to the aspx page and the page displays with the user control in the middle of it. All is well.
The problem comes in when updates are made on the user control. Keep in mind, that other data is updated on the page as well, and the update button resides on the page, not the control. Anyway, when the update button is pushed, the button_click event is fired on the page, but the updates that I made on the user control are lost. Since the page loaded the user control and then the usercontrol executed the page unload method, the page has no knowledge of the user control anymore. Thus, when the update button on the page is pushed, I guess I am not really sure what happens with the updated data on the user control. All I know is that it is lost.
I have been using session variables in my asp.net application for passing the next property:
[DefaultValue(true)]
public bool IsModificationMode
{
get
{
return (bool)Session["ModificationMode"];
}
set { Session["ModificationMode"] = value; }
}
In the PageLoad, I set it's value.
Now after the Postback, I am losing it's value having a a NullReferenceException
I read the solutioin for this error, at the following link :http://forums.asp.net/p/1046935/1576341.aspxbut I am still not clear what exactly causes the error. I have two doubts :1. Can anyone please elaborate a bit on this issue, with any example ????2. Is there any drawback of this approach ?
View 4 RepliesI am in beginner level on developing web pages. I was coding on desktop applications and as you know it is easy to say that web applications are extremely different than desktop applications.
I wonder why data are lost between postbacks.???? And what is the best way not to lose the data belonging to a specific control (especially gridview). Session or viewstate or anything else?
Never had this happen before. I just upgraded my site from 3.5 to 4.0. Here's the scenario:
1.) I have a literal on a web form, in an UpdatePanel.
2.) On PostBack, the Literal's "Text" property loses it's value. The ViewState is enabled throughout the page. Further, I changed the Literal to a label and it also has this problem. The TextBox's appear to keep their values.
3.) If I remove all of the Ajax controls (which currently is just the UpdatePanel and the ScriptManager) then the Literal control keeps it's value through PostBacks.
4.) There is no client side JavaScript where I'm manually changing the values of these controls. They are only editted in the server side events.
I have read that setting the AutomaticDataBind property in the web.config could remedy this but I can't find any documentation on it and I don't know where to put it in the web.config to even try it.
I'm fairly new to ASP.net development as may have been noticed by some of my other posts and so here goes another one.I have a web page in which I allow users to enter data that will be used to populate a database and then graph data based on the information that was saved in the database. I have 10 sets of criteria that the user can enter and as they enter values for each individual set, I make sure all the parameters are filled in and set a variable called blnParm1, blnParm2, blnParm3, etc. Anyway, as each DropDownList box fires off an event the values of my blnParm variables is reset because each time the event is fired the page is PostBack therefore my variables are redeclared. I know the page is being PostBack because each of the DropDownList boxes have AutoPostBack set to true. I had to do this so that I could get the OnSelectedIndexChanged event to fire for each of the DropDownList boxes. So, how do I preserve my variables through this PostBack or how do I get the events to trigger without calling AutoPostBack?
Some more info, my variables are declared globally in my aspx.cs file as private bool. The code is working like it should as far as populating drop downs dynamically based on other data input by the user, the controls all have their values preserved as the page is PostBack.
I am using jlinq a library for extending linq to json and hence i filter my json data. Consider i have a json data that draws a yui datatable on page load with 100 rows. I am doing a clientside filter which will reduce my json data and i am now redrawing the same datatable. What happens is it works pretty well but with an annoying flickering effect...
I call the below method from onkeyup event of the filter textbox,
