If I access session variable in ashx handler through it is always null. How can I access the current user here.
public void ProcessRequest (HttpContext context) {
context.Session[UIConstants.SessionItems.ID] = Id;
}
I have read in many places that referencing IRequiresSessionState or IReadOnlySessionState will allow me access to the Session scoped variables from within the ProcessRequest method in an ASHX file.
I have implemented these changes, as follows, and I am unable to retrieve this data still, as the server returns a null object reference error:
using System;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.SessionState;[code]....
The error is most certainly specific to pulling data from the session, yet I am 100% certain that the session contains data in this key.
It shouldnt matter where I am storing the data (cookies, vs db, etc), right?
I have been trying unsuccessfully to retrieve a Session varaible from within an ASHX file that i'm using to build an XML file.
What I am trying to achieve is quite simple really.My ASHX file is used to dynamically build an XML file so that I can then bind it to a TreeView control later on. However the dynamic part isn't quite working because the ID that I need from the session seems to not be passed into the ASHX file.
I have tried using the following methods to do this:
1) Include interfaces IRequiresSessionState and IReadOnlySessionState
2) Tried accessing the value like this: Session["ID"] or context.Session["ID"] or HttpContext.Current.Session["ID"]
I am setting the Session variable in the MasterPage's code behind.
1. SetSession.aspx page sets value for a session variable and redirects to default.aspx page using Response.redirect() code.
2. Default.aspx page tries to create an object of class in app_codecommon.cs file.
3. In app_codeCommon.cs file, I am trying to access the session variable set in step1 using HttpContext.Current.Session object.
but step 3 gives error that object reference not set to an instance. as HttpContext.Current.Session is null.
I surf abt it on net, and seems to be problem with asp.net framework.
I have created .ashx which implemented IRequiresSessionState, so I can create session variables in that ashx, it worked in IE, but doesn't work in Firefox.When access this session variable from other pages it's NULL.
View 1 Repliesim now using FancyUpload (flash upload) to allow user to upload files in a small project. I use Generic Handler to handler in server when user uploads his file, but i'm getting error: Can't get session in Generic Handler (.ashx) when using Firefox or Chrome etc except IE I read so many solution and finally found out that Flash has some bug that can't send cookie in Firefox or Chrome except IE, Maybe i can check the session in Flash before it's start to send the file to the server or check session in Generic Handler before save it
View 2 RepliesI have a simple 'file download' generic handler which sets the response contenttype and headers before sending the file through the same response.
I also have Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.server) set in the global.asax.
As I have noticed from various sources, Internet Explorer doesn't like this no-cache setting and gives an error when trying to download the file (requested site unavailable or cannot be found).
I thought maybe I could override this setting in the .ashx page, so I alter the response's cacheability setting to public. This did not solve the issue. removing the line from global.asax does solve the problem but obviously affects the whole site.
Is there a way of setting the cachability just for my generic handler?
I have a problem with a SessionVariable. I will explain what is happening:
1. From the default.aspx I send Session["LoginByAdmin"] = "Dummy"; and then redirect to this page where I have the code below. So the Page_Load sees that this Session["LoginByAdmin"] != null and enter this page. This works fine !
2. In the Page_Load, I later fill a ListBox1 with foldernames.
3. With Button1_Click1, I will now delete the choosen Folder in the ListBox1 wich works fine the first time and the ListBox updates the new existing folders in the ListBox. (I have wrapped this inside an updatepanel)
The problems comes now when I try to delete a choosen folder in the ListBox1 the second time in a row. When I select a Folder in the ListBox1 and now Press Button1, I will be redirected to "Default.aspx". This meens that this code is running: (That meens that Session["LoginByAdmin"] == null and I have not set this to null anywhere. This is my big question how this variable can be = null here?
if (Session["LoginByAdmin"] == null)
Response.Redirect("Default.aspx");
break;

i am trying to pass a value, from my .aspx form to a ashx request via a session or a cookie,
the cookie exists but in the ashx it returns a null, and same with the session value.
I have some cascading dropdownlists using the ajax toolkit I have a set up datatables in an xsd file. Then use these in a webservice to populate all the fields ... this all works great but now i need to pass an additional paramter to the first dropdownlist ( a date) but don't know how to do this? The method is below...
[Code]....
The other code is:
[Code]....
The first change would be to the tableadapter to add a param to the code i.e
AuditWebDS.TeamsDataTable teams = teamsAdapter.GetTeams(calldate);
but how do i get the calldate param to the webservice method... i tried a session variable but it comes up with session is null ? Is there another better way?
So I've read quite a few posts about how to do this, and it's still getting me. I'm trying to control access to a directory, but I continue to get a null session error. I'm doing my check in PostAcquireRequestState
[Code]....no matter where I put this, my session always comes back null. I am using IRequireSessionState on the class as well. Am I pulling the context wrong?
There is an ashx file containing "ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)" method which gets triggered automatically. When and how does it get fired?Another question, How can I get the current QueryString when I am inside this file? When I type "context.Request.QueryString" it says it's null or empty although the address have arguments.
View 1 Repliesi have a ashx file
this file return string (plain/text)
i want ro read this from another page
Like:
http://www.domain.com/My-ashx.ashx?q=1 (This URL Return One Line Plain/Text)
i have another page: http://www.domain2.com/default.aspx ( I want write string(Return From ashx file))
THere is an external ASHX url that dinamically generates an XML file.
I tried to parse this XML using the doc.Load("http://www.domain.com.br/asp.net/integration.ashx") but it haven't worked.
The same code above work fine if I use a XML file instead of ashx one.
I need to read the XML file generated by the ASHX one in order to integrate the websites.
In a basic scenario where I have a GridView with files to download and link buttons to download them, is there any benefit at all for creating a custom http handler for streaming those files as opposed to simply streaming from the event handler of the download link button?
Edit: As some suggested code reuse would favor the handler, however it's not an issue in this particular case. The handler is also faster being that it avoids the page life cycle, however this slight performance improvement is probably not worth creating a handler for in my particular situation. The only thing that comes to mind now is (assuming using the same aspx page approach) whether there is any special consideration in a situation where the GridView is inside an UpdatePanel?
I have created file upload funactionality along with progress bar in my project for this. I have referred following jquery tool you can see here.[URL]with the respective funcationality. i have created one .ashx file for string file on server but when i try to store file on server it gives me error.Could not find a part of the path so i put whole path in the respective code but still i m getting some error. my code is
sfilenamestored = ("\Users\dev5\Desktop\DataAccessLayer\PresentationLayer\"+"/Uploaded_Document/" + upload_files.foldername.ToString()) + "/" + GetUniqueKey() + file.FileName;
I have implemented a generic handler to work as a restful web service in ASP.Net. I have a problem receiving the XML file that is being posted to this web service. I cannot actually see anything being passed. I have gone through the form, querystring, and file properties of the request object. Everything is empty. I know that the file has been posted correctly because I can see it while using a port sniffer.
How can I access this file?
For our application we provide users with file downloads that utilize handlers to serve the files. Currently, the way it is served to the user is through window.location. When using this, at times, it causes issues under IE8. When an error occurs, it cannot be caught under the page that called it.
A) Is there a way to serve an ashx file handler to the user where the page that called it can catch any exceptions made from thje handler
B) What is the correct way to serve the handler, eg. window.open, window.location, etc. Would return false at the end of the javascript solve this? Are there any other ways
implemented a generic handler in my application which works great for images, but when I manually type the handler URL in the browser with the image's querystring it prompts download instead of displaying. Here is my code:
public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
{
if (this.FileName != null)
{
[code]...
I have the below code which does not work. I cannot instantiate my class this way.
SecurePage secureCs = new SecurePage();
I want to be able to inherit the class instead of instantiating.

View 5 RepliesWe have a whole bunch of WML pages that are served out using ASHX files and we've had no problems with them. However, someone has just got a Windows 7 Phone and when they browse to one of these pages they get:
Can't download file! Windows Phone doesn't support .ashx files Is there some IIS configuration that we need to do to make this work?
I'm using an .ashx handler to retrieve an image file... It queries a local database, which retrieves the URL of an image which is hosted on Amazon S3.
But I can't use context.response.write(AmazonS3URL) because it returns the error '...is not a virtual path'.
Can context.response.write only return files that are on the local machine? Or is there another function to call remote files?
