1) How/where do I set the lifetime of the session cookie in my web application when using an STS to get claims? From what I can tell, it seems I can only do this programmatically in the erviceConfigurationCreated event.
2) How/where can I make sure that the expiration is sliding?
I know that when declaring a page method in ASP.NET, I can specify a CacheDuration like so:
[WebMethod(CacheDuration=60)]
public static void Foo()
{
But from what I understand, CacheDuration only supports absolute expiration. I want to have sliding expiration. So that leads me to believe that I need to access the System.Web.Caching.Cache object somehow. But, since page methods are static, and this is essentially a standalone web service, I'm not sure how to access it statically. The only ways I have seen on Google rely on getting it from the HttpContext. But, there is no HttpContext available to me here, right?Or, do I need to use the System.Runtime.Caching.MemoryCache to do my own caching?
we have a web based application that let users register, activate their account and then login to use the app...
it is very important that accounts must not be used simultaneously, so if user a is logged in using mynameisA/mypassword, no one else can login at the same time using the same credentials, until he logout.
this was achieved by using a cache mechanism that inserts an entry specific to that user and will keep on refreshing at each request, until the user logouts, where we remove that cache entry. on login, we check whether that cache entry is there in order to allow him in or throw a message saying that the user is already logged in... we use enterprise library 5.0 which we found more reliable than the asp.net cache, and for various other practical reasons.
now, this works fine, but the problem is that it seems like the authentication ticket and cookie doesnt slide properly at each request. so sometimes, users end up logged out because their authentication ticket got expired, and they cannot login again because the cache entry is still there.
here is the code in the sign-in page:
' if user credentials are valid, and other checks and validations...
[Code]....
here is the code that runs on every authenticated request (httpmodule):
[Code]....
and here is the web.config stuff:
[Code]....
we've done all kind of tests including metabase IIS6 monitoring. there is no apppool recycle happening...
checking the authentication cookie in firefox view cookies option shows that on each request, the expiration time of the authentication cookie is not sliding.
I'm seeing requests on my server that appear to be made by an anynomous client, although I'm certain they were made by an authenticated user - I have fiddler logs showing that the client sent valid asp.net auth cookies, and server logs indicating that the cookie arrived and is valid. The problem has been observed across all browsers.
The flow of data is:
User visits login url, on a machine that's part of a webfarm (all with the same machine, decrypt keys)On successful forms authentication, user is redirect to a restricted url, their homepage Homepage renders correctly, knowns the identify of the user, and includes javascript to perform 7 asynchronous post-backs to get additional data Javascript kicks off 7 http.get requests, hitting different machines in the webfarm (assume round robin)Server validates request: ~0.01% fail to authenticate.
Now into details:
A very small number of the asynchronous requests land at my server (with evidence they were not manipulated or faked) and appear to be anonymous. Of the 7 requests made, some number may or may not work (ie, 5/7 will succeed, 2 will fail). There doesn't appear to be any patterns in success / failures. In the cases where my requests appear to be anonymous, the CurrentPrincipal.Identity records:
Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity.IsAuthenticated; // false
Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity.Name; // null (or empty, unsure off hand)
Dumping the http.context.request.params collection to a log file, I'm able to see the following relevent (and scrubbed) properties (complete params below):

I am developing a CompositeDataBoundControl that is basically a 'table' inside a 'div', in order to limit the size of the Control and use the scrolling capabilities of the 'div' tag ('RenderBeginTag("div").
So essentially the control is;
<div style="overflow:auto;width:400px;height:300px;">
<table style="table-layout:fixed;">

I am new to javascript and jquery. I have written some javascript code for some client validation.
document.getElementById(spnError).style.display = 'block';
This is how I am showing a span if there is some validation issues in the form. I want to use Jquery to show this span. I would like to slide it down slowly.
I have been exploring for a few days AJAX Toolkit and I am just wondering, if it is possible to move images in and out e.g. from right to left from asp.net image control. I would like to create a control that behaves in a similar way to the ones appearing on MS Store websites which you see there:

I have tried to create it using AJAX SlideShowExtender but to be honest I am new to this technology and managed to make it only fade in and out. I was thinking also about using Collapsible Panel Extender but obviously I am not sure where to start.
I want to display in my web page couple of show times and the list of movies under it.The display would be like this -
Show Time 6.30 PM
Movie 1
Movie 2
Movie 3
Show Time 9.30 PM
Movie 1
Movie 2
Movie 3
I want to display it in such a way that when I Click on "Show Time 6.30 PM" it would display the movies under that show and wont display anything under "Show Time 9.30 PM". Now when I click on "Show Time 9.30 PM", all the contents inside "Show Time 6.30 PM" should shrink and the list of movies should be available in "Show Time 9.30 PM".I need some idea on how to do this, will it be achieved using a sliding panel, or is there any other control.Note - For the show times and movie details I have a collection which I am binding it to a repaeter control.
What I am looking is for a SINGLE sliding panel which floats around every row in the table, So if Row 1 is clicked the panel displays the show times under it, when Row 2 is clicked, the data inside row 1 Is shrinked and the panel floats to down displaying the movies under Row 2.
I use my web app on the wall as a dashboard type scenario. One thing that would look great would be to automatically move between pages on my site (and maybe others) after a certain time. For example, you setup page x for 2 mins, then page y for 2 mins then page z for 4 mins. Now, I can do this easily inside my existing website. However, I would like to be able to switch to other sites with login where required. So basically a website of its own that just diverts according to a script. Has anyone seen anything like this on the market or have concepts similar?
Note, my webspages are ajax-ified so any timers would not be allowed to interupt updated.
I think the question says it all, but I'd like to know for sure.

I have a little problem with my sliding panels, I have a Page with 2 sliding panels (right and left). These panels have a 'slide button' and you can reduce panels by clicking on it. I use cookies to record state of panel, so when you change page panels stay collapsed or extended. But it doesn't work very well, in fact the state is recorded for the page. If I change page, panel will extend (default position) but if I go back on the page it will disapear. Is it possible to ignore the path in the cookie and use a cookie for all website?
Jquery code :
$('#rightfold').click(function () {
if ($('.menudroite').is(':visible')) {
$('.menudroite').hide("slide", { direction: "right" }, 400);
$.cookie('rightfold', 'collapsed');
$('.triggerdroite').animate({ backgroundColor: "#B2C9D1" }, 1000);
$('#rightfold').animate({ color: "#000000" }, 1000);
}
else {
$('.menudroite').show("slide", { direction: "right" }, 400);
$.cookie('rightfold', 'extended');
$('.triggerdroite').animate({ backgroundColor: "#6c7a7f" }, 1000);
$('#rightfold').animate({ color: "#d9f4ff" }, 1000);
}
});
$('#leftfold').click(function () {
if ($('.menugauche').is(':visible')) {
$('.menugauche').hide("slide", { direction: "left" }, 400);
$.cookie('leftfold', 'collapsed');
$('.triggergauche').animate({ backgroundColor: "#B2C9D1" }, 1000);
$('#leftfold').animate({ color: "#000000" }, 1000);
}
else {
$('.menugauche').show("slide", { direction: "left" }, 400);
$.cookie('leftfold', 'extended');
$('.triggergauche').animate({ backgroundColor: "#6c7a7f" }, 1000);
$('#leftfold').animate({ color: "#d9f4ff" }, 1000);
}
});
// COOKIES
var leftfold = $.cookie('leftfold');
var rightfold = $.cookie('rightfold');
// Set the user's selection for the left column
if (leftfold == 'collapsed') {
$('.menugauche').css("display", "none");
};
// Set the user's selection for the right column

View 1 RepliesI am not sure if I am asking this question correctly. Sometimes when you don't know enough, you may not know what to ask. I want to set up memberships with an ASP.NET website. The memberships will have a 14 day free trial period. After that, the user will need to pay a fee if they wish to continue to access the website. I am not sure how to accomplish this. After adding a membership database to the website, setting up roles ect., what do I do next? Do I need to make adjustments to the tables of the database, or write some code somewhere in the application? I have never done this exercise before, Logically, I know that I need to implement something that keeps track of expiration date. Also, how do I prevent a user from just making up new user names and credentialing?
