Control Values Lost When Authentication Session Times Out?
Nov 24, 2010
I have a ASP.NET website which uses forms authentication. The timeout is twenty minutes.
I have noticed that if a user half completes a form, and is then timed out, they are redirected to the login page, fill it in, and are redirected back to the form but with EMPTY controls.
I had prevously assumed that ASP.NET would use some skulduggery to repopulate the form controls when this happens.
I created HttpHandler class in ASP.NET and configured a website to handle any request with the *.test path.
public class GameHandler : IHttpHandler, IRequiresSessionState { public bool IsReusable { get { return false;
[Code]....
I suspect the problem is that ASP.NET doesn't know these requests sent from javascript belong to the same session and that's why the Session values are lost.
I am creating a presentation on basis of some selected values and maitaning the selected values in a session variable named Session("userPref") in collection form.
Now I am opening a TablePreview.aspx page by javascript window.open() function.
On Page_Load of TablePreview.aspx I am reading some values of Session("userPref") and doing some operatons.
For saving the presentation I have created a page wizardsave.aspx.
Now I am opening the wizardsave.aspx from TablePreview.aspx by window.open() function for saving presentation, but on Page_Load of wizardsave.aspx. I found that some value from collection stored in Session("userPref") have lost.
I need to make my asp.net session cookie as secure but whenever i check user authentication and after that i am trying to set cookie to true then my session lost my user information and so it always redirect login page. I am settings user to HttpContext.Current.Session["user"] and check every time, is user is valid and if valid then move ahead. but before that i make my asp.net session cookie as true.
[Code]....
but after that i observe that somehow "Session_Start" event gets called.
My asp.net mvc application, requires me to login every 20-50 seconds, i contacted the hosting provider, who says its due to recycle of pool. i have added following code to web.config.
i have two text boxes and one button in web form. I need to display the contents of text boxes in a datatable in the same form, when i click on the button.
How can i do this using session array. I need to store values in session array. and get back the values from session when i need .
We are upgrading the asp.net 2.0 web application to asp.net 4.0.
The application contain three main modules (sub application) like End User, Franchise and Admin with separate web.config, asp.net form Authentication, login page and running with single domain.
In asp.net 2.0, working fine with 3 sub applications with separate form authentication under a single domain name and also we can working with all threes in same time.
After the up gradation process (ASP.NET 2.0 to 4.0),
We didn't run all three applications in same times and also form authentication crossed.
I'm trying to track down an issue on an ASP.NET v3.5 application where the HttpSession times out before its (default) 20 minutes. We're seeing behaviour where the session is lost only a few minutes into a session, at random and with no discernible cause such as unhandled exceptions. As far as I can tell, the ASP.NET worker process is not dying, otherwise that would have explained the dropped session.
What approach should I use to monitor when the session is dropped? Is there some event I can listen to, or some other hook in the System.Web namespace? Also, can someone confirm that the countdown to expiration is reset by web activity? That is, the session's lifetime gets reset to the (default) 20 minutes each time the web client makes an HTTP GET or POST?
Am doing wepsite for show images from local drive using asp.net.am using session object for Transfer image path from first page to second page its running nice in vs 2003 .but i converted this website to vs 2005.but session value does't pass to next page.i got null value in session object. am using inproc session mode
User continues using webapp for a few minutes (ASP.NET_SessionId: ublbhu45ji31e055ywqu0555)
User falls idle (doesn't perform any postbacks) for a few minutes
User performs postback
User is shown Introduction.aspx Second inspection of user's ASP.NET_SessionId cookie still shows ublbhu45ji31e055ywqu0555
Why is the user shown Introduction.apsx the second time inside the same ASP.NET Session? I'm familiar w/ the risk in setting session variables just before a redirect in the same postback, but that doesn't apply here, right?
I have two sites desigined on ASP.net MVC 2 pattern. I want to redirect from one site to another with the help of Redirect(url) action result. My problem is that I am able to redirect to other site but my session gets lost. Is there any way by which I can retain the session value? My constraints are I cannot use the sql membership provider, cookies and querystrings
I want a specific session variable (in my case Session["level"]) to expire either on the normal 20 min. timer or at 19:30 every day. Because I change a value in my database everyday at 19:30 and I want this session variable to be related to that value. Is this possible?
I have session variable that is created in EditPlaylist.aspx. Edit.aspx is loading EditPlaylist.aspx in an iframe. when loading sessions from EditPlaylist.aspx page they are null. the session was not before I added the EditPlaylist.aspx to an iFrame. Is there a workaround for this?
I'm learning asp.net mvc 2, it's very excting with me.
I has built a small MVC2 application, it is working fine in built it ASP.net Development Server. However, there're something wrong when have it deployed in IIS 7.5, Window Server 2008 R2 Enterprise. Session is awlays null when I access the application by IE and use hostname to specify the url.
Using IE (IE 7 or IE8) to access my application with link [URL] every working fine
But when I use IE (IE 7 or IE8) to access my application with link [URL] session always null
I'm supprised while FireFox working fine in all cases, both of built in ASP.net Development Server and IIS server, both cases hostname and ip and localhost.
i'm using session variables for send variables between aspx page and it works fine ...but after some time of inctivity(user) in the page the sessions is los...how can i resolve this issue ? this is my code below how to send session :
I have a web application that was working fine. I had to make minor changes that had nothing to do with the Session object in any way. When I run local everything works fine. When I publish to our testing box it all runs fine. When I publish to production it times out on the Session object. Dozens of other applications on the production server run fine and have no trouble with Session.
Now in login page after firsttime login i set some session data... like protected void Login_LoggedIn(object sender, EventArgs e) { //..... Session["EMPLOYEELOGGEDIN"] = "Y"; //..... }
Now say i close the browser... and next time when i open the site it takes me directly to the default page [Login_LoggedIn is not called accordingly]... because i'm already logged in for 30 mins acc. to configuration. but as my session id gets changed i can't access Session["EMPLOYEELOGGEDIN"] from any page in this time. It always returns null. But how do i get back the previous session for that person?
I'm evaluating using Ajax in a new project and so I've developed a simple web page to test a few things, however even the simplest task seems to cause my session to be cleared. I am using VS2008 with .Net 3.5 SP1 and the page is in my existing solution which has several custom handlers and modules in the web.config. Below is the code I'm using, it's a simple test which puts a variable into the session then on the buttons postback tries to get the same variable, however it always fails as the session is blank.
I have an asp.net login page, which when initialized sets some session variables. When the user clicks login, an AJAX request is made which validates the user and sets additional session variables and returns a result to the client. The client is then redirected based on the login result. In the redirected page, I can access the session variables set when the login page was initialized (i.e. before the login) but none are present for those set during the login validation (part of an ajax call).
is this expected behaviour? Why would an ajax call generate a new session and thus cause the data to be lost?
(And before someone suggests that I check the validity of file.FileName, this same problem occurs if I hard-code a test string in there.) It's working just fine in IE, but in Firefox the Session Variable is not found, getting the "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error in the following code:
to download a zip file from an aspx page.In the previous page i set a session variable, after going to this download page and download the file, then press back i find the session=null "this happen after downloading more than 1 time", and the application_end in global.ascx called. Do you know why this may happen??Note: this is happening on all browsers, on IIS7 both local and on my server.
I've got an ASP.NET MVC app running under IIS7. It's using the default in-proc session management, which, according to all that I read, should lose the users' session after an app pool recycle.It doesn't seem to be losing it though. Even an IIS reset doesn't lose the session.Has something changed in IIS7 that keeps the session alive?
