Can Use SQL Server Session State With Sessions That Contain DataTables
Feb 2, 2011
I have inherited an ASP.NET 3.5 application that relies heavily on sessions and storing DataTables within them (I know - bad, bad, bad). The application pool on the remote shared hosting service indicated that memory is at full capacity and as a result customers are losing their shopping carts because of dropped sessions.
Ultimately the goal is to rewrite this code, but for the time being I would like to stabilize the site the best I can. The host has recommended I use SQL Server Session State instead of in-proc. I have no experience with this, so I'm hoping it's as simple as running the .sql against the database to configure SQL Server and updating the web.config.

Have 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.

In my web application, I set the mode of session state as State Server and point to another server. After run some days, I always meet following exception:
The state server has closed an expired TCP/IP connection. The IP address of the client is 192.168.80.157. The expired Read operation began at 08/25/2010 14:18:03.

My prior asp.net apps used windows authentication on an intranet. Now I'm developing an app for the internet and am stumbling over how to properly manage user sessions and state.
I first developed my web site functionality; created the SQL DB and got all of the pages to properly handle the data. Then, I installed the SQL Membership database and was able to get the CreateUser, Login, Logout pages to work. On the Verify process for the Userid, I added a step that will take the membership UserId value and create a Company record in my tables and link my CompanyId key with the UserId.
At Login time, I create a CompanyId session variable; each page uses it to retrieve records for the user. When Session Timeout occurs and the user click a link to another page, the app redirects properly to a Login page. However, if the time expires and then the user interacts on that same page, 'Object not set to an instance of the object' - the CompanyId session variable has expired.
What is the proper way to handle this? I'd like the page to automatically redirect to a TimedOut page (this would happen automatically without the user doing anything).
I considered writing a Function where I pass the Session variable I want and the Function sees if it exists; if it doesn't it would do a Response.Redirect to the TimedOut page...I can't get the Redirect to work in a Class Function ('reference to a non-shared member...').
I assumed that I should set CompanyId as a Session Variable so each page knows the user to get data for. Another approach is to use the membership User and if it is still valid, do a DB lookup to get the CompanyId. I did not choose this because I felt that it would increase DB traffic and web traffic.
Here are several relevant settings from my web.config:
<sessionState cookieless="UseDeviceProfile" />
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="~/UserTasks/Login.aspx" />
It feels like there should be a straightforward answer to this but I am missing it.

Customer were getting "View State Validation Error" due to worker process recycling at our production webserver and to fix that i applied machinekey and then move my Session state Mode from In Proc to State Server to retain session data and not kick out the customer to relogin. I had serialization issue with one object which has to be stored in session but when i moved it out of session i could able to resolve the issue.
But doing all these i was partly successfull in keeping the user in their session when Worker Process recycle event occurs.I was able to refresh the page or make a post back by clicking the refresh button and also able to retain the session values. But the Problem occurs when sending asynchronous request to server which we do periodically every 15 minutes from the moment the user logs in.The web page doesnot update data on website when sending asynchronous request.By Debugging I found at this particular code point it fails to make a postback which is required.
<%=GetHintFromServer%> (When there is no Worker Process recycle i t gets replaced by
WebForm_DoCallback('__Page',message,ShowHint,null,null,false) on postback) Everything works fine when there is no Worker Process Recyling but when it happens looks like sending request asynchronously using javascript fails .Remember When I make a post back by manually clicking submit button everything works fine.
SendRequest(Asynchronous)
function SendRequest(msg, isBusy, chartMsg, vesselMsg)
{
try
{
//confirm("msg"+msg+"isBusy"+isBusy+"chartMsg"+chartMsg+"VesselMsg"+vesselMsg);
_busy = isBusy;
if(chartMsg != null)
{
//confirm("chartMsg"+chartMsg);
_element.SetMessage(true, chartMsg);
}
if(vesselMsg != null)
{
confirm("chartMsg"+vesselMsg);
_element.ShowVesselLoading(true, vesselMsg);
}
_stuckWatchdog = setTimeout( "ClearPendingRequest();", 60000);
var message = msg;
var context = '';
<%=GetHintFromServer%>
}
catch(e)
{
alert( "Exception error on SendRequest(): " + e);
}
}

Our ASP.NET App uses ASP State Session Management and has been rebuilt about 2 years ago [With .NET Framework 2.0]. We are currently in .NET framework 3.5 and have moved to SQL Server 2008 - but continue to use the same ASPState database. The State database has been upgraded to SQL Server 2008. Since then we have are seeing timouts/locks on ASPStateTempSessions table. I am wondering if we have to rebuild this database from scratch with some newer scripts?

I use some session variables to get the job done(shopping cart, etc) but it is not stable..manytimes I get no items in session object and other times(refreshing the page) I get missing data...I downloaded the entire site code to my local pc and debugged it and run it succesfully without any session data missing...When I run it in the server, I get bad session again: no products in shopping cart or products with missing quantities...
The same website runs smoothly in our production server too....The problem is with our development server...

In my database I have already installed the aspnetdb membership tables and process (think that was running : aspnet_regsql.exe) with all my other custom build tables for my project. All works fine.I want to use SQL server session state. (Asp.net 2.0, SQL server 2005)My project will be on a SHARED HOSTING environment, and I only want ONE database that holds all I need ( membership, custom tables, session state table, etc)I see two files in : C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727
InstallSqlState.sql
InstallSqlStateTemplate.sql
I assume I run the "InstallSqlStateTemplate.sql" and follow instruction from this reference to SQL server session state operational in my single project database : [URL]

I have a DataTable which holds information on truck routes. When the user click on a route it display another table with details about the stop along that route. When they click a stop it shows what items were picked up at that stop. Three separate pages with 3 distinct DataTables. Currently I am storing them in the session. Normally, I would use the view state since the data only needs to live on that page. The reason I use the session is because each page is part of a Master pagelayout. There is an export button in the master page which gets the data in the session and exports it to an excel file. The issue is that when the user goes to the item level detail and uses a quick navigation link back to the route information the data for route is not reloaded into the session, just the page. If the user clicks export it will export the data set from the item level detail even though it is not displayed on the page

I have one ASP.Net web page dynamically loading any one of about twenty User Controls at a given time. Since each user control is somewhat different, I've implemented the following extension to me pass a variable number of parameters to custom user control constructors: [URL]It, by the way, works very well! However, I've now come across the fact that both the web page and the user controls will need to share a few Data Tables. In other words, both the web page and the user control will need to access and manipulate data in these data tables.
To implement this fact I've used the Session object to store each data table. Each of these data tables starts out empty and then starts growing as the user enters more data into the user controls. The initialization of the data tables has to be done in the web page for a series of technical reasons that I won't get into here but rest assured that it does have to occur there.
But I found that in order to ENSURE that the initialization was taking place, it was simplest to just pass a reference to each data table as an extra parameter in the LoadUserControl call. This does work but it seems like overkill to me because on the user control constructor side, nothing is actually done with the data tables at the time of instantiation of the user control.
This made me go back to basics, thinking, "Why include a parameter if you're not actually going to use it?" But yet, it does seem to be the most straightforward way to ensure the data table is initialized and stored in the Session object.

2. I have set the session variable in page load . after that i am trying to access the session value in web service consumed by that webiste. but I was not able get the same session in web service. can i know what is work around I need to do for getting the same session in web service also.
3. I need to bind a gridview using javascript ,Can i create the source for binding to it in javascript itself. i mean like datatable.

i have a situation where worker process recycling is causing session to expire and loose all the session data. Change to State Server and SQL server seems to be very complicated and impossible beacuse we use third party objects which are non-serializable. We need to let users keep running our ship tracking website for weeks or months beacuse they use it in their lobby and they do not want to touch it again. What alternatives i have if worker process recycles which causes to loose session data. I will need to atleast retain their user id and password to autologin them incase session expires.

We recently migrated a web app from one Prod server (Prod 1) to another server (Prod 2). There is a session varialbe checked inside the page load event of the default master page. I have enabled session state both in web.config as well inside the pagedirective. The compilation went through without any issue. The web app is also running just fine on the server but the log file keeps logging a warning message. There is no run time error.
"System.Web.HttpException: Session state can only be used when enableSessionState is set to true, either in a configuration file or in the Page directive. Please also 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."Any idea why this is happening on one server vs other?

#Newbie alert# Only 8 months experience with school education back in 2002.
I'm using VS 2008, C# 3.5 to develop my own login system for our company website.
Originally we have a "simple" design which only had a login and order page.
That order page needs to be opened for 10-12 hours at the time while our stores are opened without having to relog into the system for each query.
We also have a requirement that some users need to access 2 different compagnies (separate inventories) which require 2 different logins.
I solved that "cross over" session problem by moving all the values into viewstate with my own viewstate manager class right after the login.
Now my problem is that we are adding more and more pages and I don't want to be stuck with the problem to resave the viewstate to session and then back on viewstate for every menu items and buttons.
Is there a way to create some sort of items list of all the sessions opened by the user and only transmit that from pages to pages?

This last week I had an issue about refreshing all open sessions on an asp.net web site. The scenario it's like this:
It's a LAN application with different roles (let's say "Role A" and "Role B") and a database of SQL server.
Any "Role A" user can click a button and start something like a survey (defines a query and the possible options).
Then, any "Role B" user have to answer that survey (just once).
Here comes my problem...if I am a "Role B" user, and I have the "AnswerToSurvey.aspx" page open...how it can automatically update or refresh after the "Role A" user inserted the survey? I mean, I know that if I press F5 I will achieve it, or even using asp:Timer or javascript timer, but any of them are precise.
Any suggest? I've tried using Global.asax Application_BeginRequest and so, but no lucky. Is there any effective way to notifiy a user that something has changed? I'm not looking for a "chat like" system, just notify any "Role B" user about the change.

how do i pass data between two asp.net webservice sessions ?
this is the scenario, we've windows application and web service. our windows app calls a third party web site which requires data from our applciation. this 3rd party suggested that we create a web service that they can call from the web site.
after some reading it looks like i can use "application" object to store the data so that we store data in session with a specific session key and give it to web site and web site passes this session key in all methods it uses in webservice. is this best approach to take ?

I've been working on this problem for some time without success. We have this website that has been working for many years now and we have been using cookieless sessions since the begining. Now we are integrating with another site to handle payment throught redirection. This provider ask for two adresses for success or failure of a payment so we have something like [URL] and [URL]. For design purpose thoses two pages do not exists and I use an httpModule to route to the proper page. I use httpApplication.Context.RewritePath to send to the proper page but I can never find back the session my user had before redirecting to the payment provider.
If I change the session mecanism to use cookies (cookieless="false" or cookieless="UseUri") with a few other tweaks, everything works fine Does anybody know if this has a chance to work? Is there a way to re-attach to an existing session?

I am saving for each user a session with information about his current page viewing.
Each time the user is moving to a new page, I am updating the session with the new page he is right now.
Now, my question is if I can make any loop over all of my users session and answer a question like: How many users are now on page "2.aspx" for example?

I am trying to create a system in which there will be a single user accessing his acount from two endpoints simultanously.
I think this is possible.
1) How to restrict the user to have only one session at a time?
2) How to change it to have limited number of sessions per user at a time?

We have take over a classic asp site. Everything works fine, but we are making improvements to some reports and adding new reports, so we are doing this in .NET, with that said, after reviewing the secuirty code, there are 2 sessions that are set and used thru-out the site as part of some of the individual page queries.
I know that the sessions are being populated, because the reports that use those values return records.. now with a new report we are working on, i need to pass those values into my query. But when i try using the session names the page is coming up saying the following:Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Is there anyway to add something to my page code to see what sessions are actually being created and their values.. maybe im using the wrong variable names.. but the security code is pretty straight forward.. at login, if successful, 2 values are returned and stored in 2 sessions.. i need to use those with my new page.. so trying to figure out why the existing pages work fine with that and my new page does not..
Basically, i'd like to write to the screen the session variables that are being created on the login page.
