Which is better from a performance perspective?
Accessing a Global Application Variable (Application["foo"])
versus
Accessing an AppSetting variable from the web.config
Does .NET Cache the AppSetting variables so that it is not accessing the web.config file with every use?
I have an application that goes through a series of questions and I have a view that shows each question based on the ViewData.
I would like to store the QuestionID (the view uses this to determine which question to show), but I'm curious if I should be storing the CurrentQuestionID in the Session or as a hidden field?
I am sure this is pretty common and I was curious what the conventions/best practices were for this sort of thing.
How can I add and read value from web.config
View 4 Repliescan we grab a global variable or Session or View State variable in the javascript or using jquery?
I have a web application which uses a session variable to store the logged in userid. If no user is logged in, of course this variable will be empty and the contents displayed on my website are meant for guests. If there is a user logged in, the user specific controls/access/links will then be a displayed.
I am now having issues with my hosting where on shared application pool, the worker recycle is triggered every 90 minutes, this will clear sessions causing all my users to be logged out. I opted for a dedicated application pool, which got worse because I am only allocated 50MB memory limit and if this is reached, the worker recycle is triggered and I lose my sessions again. I have tried as much as possible optimization techniques, e.g. dispose where possible, close connections, disable viewstate for static controls etc but my memory per instance keeps building up from page to page without any signs of improvement. I don't use loops nor store huge objects like bitmaps etc but my sessions are now gone even faster than 90 minutes in shared application pool before.
I have considered using SQL Session State but there isn't a simple guide on using this with MySQL. I am getting desperate and considering using a public variable, a string as a replacement to store logged in user id instead of in a session variable. I am pretty sure this will solve my issue with sessions being recycled but are there any negative consequences of doing this? One problem I can think of is if the user closes the browser, the system will never know that the user is now logged out and this public variable should be nothing. In this scenario, will the GC eventually clear this abandoned public variable.
I got a variable of type System.Drawing.Image and need to convert it to a variable of type byte so I can store the image in the database. Can someone show me how to do that in VB.NET code.
View 2 RepliesI'm evaluating two options of accessing a server side data on client side. Little bit confused about the efficiency or may be you can call it as finding best approach to do it.
I need to access a server side data may be an integer value in javascript on client side. I know about two options to do it.Create a public variable or property on server side and set it to javascript variable on client side as below:
var value = eval(<% =value %>);
Create a asp hidden variable and set value in this hidden variable from server side and access it through javascript using document.getElementById().
Which is the best approach and what are the pros and cons?

Here second declaration of x gives error that "variable 'x' hides a variable in an enclosing block. I wonder why this error is not given for second 'i' variable declared in second for loop?
Since i am declaring second x in a separate for block, why this error is given for variable second x ?
What would be the proper syntax in ASP.NEt 3.5 C# to assign a TextBox value to a temporary or session variable to be manipulated (added, subtracted, multiplied, divided) at different points in the application? I want to add a decimal number to this variable in almost every instance as well.
View 3 RepliesI would like to store a collection of strings in the web.config. This collection would vary in size over time. I would like to be able to pull all of the strings in the collection into an array or collection in code. (.Net 4, asp.net)

I could use appsettings with the strings all in one value but I would like to seperate it out for organizational reasons. Not using the key/value pair complicates things a bit. I am now getting a message that states "you can't have duplicate elements in a section"
Can you use a session variable in a web config connection string? So instead of:
Code:
<add name="ConnectionString2" connectionString="Data Source=ora;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=SA;Password=PASS;Unicode=True"
something like this:
Code:
<add name="ConnectionString2" connectionString="Data Source=" & Session(DB) & ";Persist Security Info=True;User ID=SPAR;Password=;Unicode=True"
I am in the process of moving all of the images in my web application over to a CDN but I want to easily be able to switch the CDN on or off without having to hard code the path to the images. My first thought was to add an HttpHandler for image extensions that depending whether a variable in the web.config (something like ) will serve the image from the server or from the CDN. But after giving this a little though I think I've essentially ruled this out as it will cause ASP.NET to handle the request for every single image, thus adding overhead, and it might actually completely mitigate the benefits of using a CDN.
An alternative approach is, since all of my pages inherit from a base page class, I could create a function in the base class that determines what path to serve the files from based off the web.config variable. I would then do something like this in the markup:
<img src='<%= GetImagePath()/image.png' />
I think this is probably what I'll have to end up doing, but it seems a little clunky to me. I also envision problems with the old .NET error of not being able to modify the control collection because of the "<%=" though the "<%#" solution will probably work.
I have an asp.net 2.0 website. I have an appsetting in the web.config to point to which environment I am in (Dev, QA, Production). Each environment has it's own web reference for calling web services to get data.I currently have all 3 web references added to the project at the same time and manually change the name of the current environment I want to use. Is there a way I can use the appsetting environment variable I have setup to decide which web reference to use? Does anybody have an example or can point me in the right direction to get started?
View 2 RepliesI have the dataset. in this i am having total 20 tables with huge amount of data..I want use this data over all the page..so where i can keep this data..
before i used viewstate but the viewstate data is render to page every postback ..so this time the page size is increasing(interanlly viewstate is rendered to page)..so performence wise it was very slow..
Now i change my logic insted of viewstate to i used Globel Dataset on Page Level.. now the performence wise better than viewstate..
i used Like shared dsControls as Dataset at top of the page..so every time i use this dataset..
my quesation is session is better or Globel variable is better way use in my situavation..

I have got a requirement to pass password and UseriD to web.config placed in a session variable . How can I do this?
in VB file it is written in this way. So, I have to pass it in Web.congif the Session variable.
dataSource.ConnectionString = "Provider=MSDAORA.1;Password=ssa_nic_" & Session("dist_code") & ";User ID=dise" & Session("dist_code") & ";Data Source=dise;Persist Security Info=True"
the following web.config file is placed in a specific sub-folder on a website. It will allow the user John.Doe to access the pages inside the folder but will deny anonymous users
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Is it possible to replace users in the following web.config file with certain session variable for example getting the day(sunday, monday, etc) from date and storing it in session("DayVar")
then the code should be something like this for the subfolder monday
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.web> [code]...
is this doable ?
Nested GridView Control returns "Object variable or With block variable not set" when outer GridView returns rows.
The Nested GridView Control works as long as the outer GridView returns rows, the following code works: [Code]....
Object variable or With block variable not set.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Line 122: End If
I have tried checking for IsDbNull and checking to see if a label exists in a given row. This code *If Not e.Row.DataItem("Status_ID") Is Nothing Then* appears to do nothing.Same with the following:
*Dim localLblItemReference As Label = CType(e.Row.FindControl("lblItemReference"), Label)
*If Not localLblItemReference Is Nothing Then

To further clarify my question above, I am looking for a method to detect e.Row.DataItem("Status_ID") is nothing/null due to the outer GridView returning 0 results in a query.I have a (Outer) GridView Control with another GridView Control inside of a template field with it's associated SqlDataSource control.
In the "Protected Sub GridViewReport_RowCreated", I provide the Select Parameter for the associated SqlDataSource with the DataItem row value.When the (Outer) GridView Control does not return any rows, the "e.Row.DataItem("Status_ID")" throws a:

I'm using a 3rd party web service in my ASP.NET application. Calls to the 3rd party web service have to be synchronized, but ASP.NET is obviously multi-threaded and multiple page requests could be made that result in simultaneous calls to the 3rd party web service. Calls to the web service are encapsulated in a custom object. My thought is to store the object in an application variable and use the C# lock keyword to force synchronized use of it.
I'm nervous, because I'm new to multi threaded concepts and I've read that you shouldn't lock a public object (which my application variable effectively is). I've also read that if the locked block of code fails (which it could if the web service fails), then it could destabilize the app domain and bring down the application.I should mention that the 3rd party web service is rarely used in my website and it's going to be rare that 2 requests to it are made at the same time.Here's a rough code sample of how I'd make calls to the web service:
ThirdPartWebService objWebService = Application["ThirdPartWebService"] As ThirdPartWebService;
lock (objWebService)
{
objWebService.CallThatNeedsToBeSynchronized();
}
I have an Application level variable that gets loaded from a database when the application starts. Now when accessing the variable, I check to see if it is not null. If it is not null I use it, if it is null I initialize it from the database, then use it.
My question is how can I make sure that this variable is refreshed atleast once a day? Is there something in .net or the MVC framework to help with this?
Does IIS unload an application if it has not accessed for a while? If so then my variable would be refreshed each time the app is reloaded.
i am redirecting from a 3rd party site to my application where i am getting the responses of credit card no,cvv no and exp date into my application.but the session data that had come from the previous page is being lost.i have tried using application instead of session and its working fine will there be any disadvantage of using application over session
