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.
I would love to use hidden field value but I think I am missing something to do.
Since every page refresh or staying a little bir longer on the page, the value is missing.

How can i do the this cookiles suff above...?
I use hidden value to keep the url to redirect to next page. May be i sould not keen on using hidden value, session variables are better?
I have a custom user control which contains a asp hiddenfield object. The value of this hidden field is being set using javascript and I have verified that the value is being set properly. When a postback occurs the new value is not being saved and I cannot access it in my code.
I believe the problem is because the user control is not saved in viewstate and therefore the hidden field value is not saved accross postback. How can I make the hidden field save its value? I tried accessing it from the early page cycles and still no luck.
I have the following in my code (Login.aspx page)
Javascript:
<script
language="javascript"
type="text/javascript">
alert(username);
[Code]....
I have Gridview like this:
<asp:GridView ID="gvPartsSearchResult" runat ="server" CssClass="MRJ_TextGrid">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Select">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:RadioButton
ID="rdButton"
runat="server"
AutoPostBack ="true"
onclick="javascript:CheckOtherIsCheckedByGVIDMore()"/>
<asp:HiddenField
ID="hdnFileExtension"
runat="server"
Value ='<%#Bind("FILE_EXTENSION")%>'/>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
I want to read the hidden field value when the user clicks on the radio button.
I want to add my own session variable to elmah error log table and display it. I already have modified the source code and added the new fields to Error.cs and other fields but I don't know but when I assign an HttpContext.Current.Session["MyVar"].tostring() value to my field in the constructor it stops logging exceptions and does not log any exception. I just need to get the value of the session variable is there other way for this ? I read a post which he added fields for the email but it does not say where exactly should I get the session value. I also read that Session and Cookies ar e logged by default by Elmah but I dont know how to access them.
View 2 RepliesWhich 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?
is there any reason for me to place the session ID within a form, as a hidden form field?
View 3 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?
Currently in an .aspx file, I am storing a value (filename that was created in that session) in an hidden text box. When the user clicks on the "Print" labeled Hyperlink control, it opens the file that was stored in the hidden text box control. But when the user goes to different screen (in the same session), I loose the filename value that is stored in the hidden text box control. So I would like to store the filename variable in a session variable. So that if the user leaves this .aspx file and comes back to this .aspx file I can load the value into the hidden text box from the session variable.

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.
What is an appropriate use case for all of the above? It seems session and cache are quite similar, and I can't think of much use for application.
View 3 RepliesFor ASP.NET, I'm using a DetailsView for insert and edit of a record. For edit mode I don't want to display the primary key field because it should not be changed. For insert mode, I want to display the primary key field because it doesn't exist and the user can specify it via a DropDownList that insures they will pick an unique value. A TemplateField is used in the DetailsView markup for the primary key field (hence the DropDownList for insert mode).
My problem is that I cannot get the primary key field to not display for edit mode and to display for insert mode. In the markup I have:
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="name" InsertVisible="True" Visible="True">
<InsertItemTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddl2NonMembers" runat="server"
Width="155px"
Sourceless="sqlNonMembers"
DataTextField="name"
DataValueField="id_adm"
SelectedValue='<%# Bind("member_grp") %>'>
</asp:DropDownList>
</InsertItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
With the TemplateField Visible="True", the HeaderText="name" always displays which I don't want for edit mode. With the TemplateField Visible="False", the field never displays which I don't want for insert mode.How can I achieve the display behavior I want for insert verses edit mode. I'm fine with changing some property programmatically rather than relying an a pure markup approach,
There are two frames. In ASP page 1 that is being displayed in frame 1, we have a form with hidden variables. On some action this from is submitted to frame 2 with action as ASP page 2 (target = frame2, action = 'ASP Page 2') using POST method. But on ASP page 2 when we try to get Form's hidden variable via Request object, sometimes we get them correctly but sometimes they are blank. Generally, first or second time, they show some values but after that they go blank. This problem is seen in IE 7 only and has not been observed in any other version of IE or other browsers.
View 1 RepliesQuestion. Say for example if i have a business entity -> Customer, which has customerId, customerName and customerType. I have created an asp:Hidden Variable hdnCustomer to runat="server"
If i wanted to serialize the value of the customer business entity (in the code behind) to the hdnCustomer then how would i do that?
// Psudo code
Collection customerList = new Collection();
customerList = BusinessAccess.GetCustomerList();
hdnCustomer = serialize and assign the value of 'customerList' to hdnCustomer;
...
...
// Later on a select index change of one of the drop down lists
inside the event handler for the drop down list
{
Collection customerList = new Collection();
customerList = deserialize the value from hdnCustomer
int a = Convert.ToInt32(ddlDropDown.SelectedValue);
foreach(a in customerList)
{
// Do something
}
}
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'm working with an asp.net application that stores most data in a database and not session. I'm wondering of the pros and cons of each and which is the better way to go. For example, you have a pretty busy site and instead of storing user specific variables in session, there is a DB table called user data and it can store all user specific data that can be accessed from any page by querying the database. Which is the better way to go, session or database?

I 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..
