I'm still debugging my application so it's on the local server. As I debug and stop then debug again, eventually lblNoOfUsers.text turns to "0" instead of "1", even as I'm navigating my application. It only turns to "1" again if I log out and sign back in. It's almost as though Membership.GetNumberOfUsersOnline my login are referencing two different session states. How is this possible? Does asp.net create a new session state cookie each time I start debugging?
We have a local homepage, which connect to our production security environment. When I need to test my site in test environment, I need to get fresh cookie (not the one that was sent to me via production security service, when I opened IE with local homepage).
I am getting fresh cookie fine in Mozilla; but in IE I always have production cookie, and this disables my testing. What I should fix here?
I would like to change ASP.NET session cookie name "ASP.NET_Sessionid" to some other name. I specified <sessionState cookieName="MyCookieName" />. When I use fiddler to view response header, I can see "MyCookieName" with random generated number under cookie section, however, ASP.NET_SessionId also exist there.
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.
I have a website for a simple game. When people sign in their Player ID is stored in a Session variable. I have integrated SMS payments so that my players can buy credits to use to play. This is where the problems start:
To buy credits, players are presented with an .aspx page that holds an IFRAME of the SMS payment proviers form. A code is entered, and the IFRAME POSTS to a URL on the providers server. It is then redirected back to an URL on my server(www.XXX.com/process.aspx), where I handle the results (i.e adds credits to th players account if the payment was successfull).
However, the session dies on return.
I tried with cookies, and saves the player ID in a cookie, but when upon return to www.XXX.com/process.aspx I cannot read the cookie? I'm checking for if (cookie == null) and it evaluates to TRUE, so the player is redirected to an error page.
How come the cookie cant be read? Is it because the POST is coming from an outside URL? And, what about when I do it with a session variable? Same thing there?
If I have two "webroles" (azure), that are NOT using a shared custom state provider, is the "Session.SessionID" be the same in both?It would make sense ,considering that both get the same cookie (because are in the same domain) and have the same machineKey, but I'm not sure
We have a web app running .net 1.1 that users must login to access (uses FormsAuthentication). At one point, the user submits a form that is handled by a separate web app on the same website but in a different directory (running .net 2.0 and not requiring authentication). When the user submits the form and is redirected to this other page they have some options including returning to the previous web app.
We need our users to stay logged in to the first web app so they do not have to log in again when returning. This works fine on 3 out of four computers, but the fourth computer is asked to log in when they hit the return button (by reviewing the active cookies we see that when it returns to the original web app, the FormsAuthentication cookie is missing)
why this cookie would disappear on one machine but not the others? I am going through IE settings now but the machine has the problem in IE and Chrome (not sure if this would be a shared setting) If it is an IE setting is there a way to make this work without requiring the user to change their settings and without switching to cookieless sessions?
Here is the authentication part of web.config
[Code]....
And if it makes a difference, the redirect and form action property use a the full path, would using a relative path likely change anything?
(i) I have a simple application where I am getting data from a textbox and storing it in a cookie. I noticed that unless I set the Autopostback value of the textbox to TRUE, nothing is stored. Does anyone know why this is the case?
Very new to ASP.NET and C# (somewhat knowledgable in PHP) I have an ASP.NET web application and need to manage access to pages based on a 'status' stored in a cookie. I would like to use the following code to create the cookie in a login method.
HttpCookie cookie = new HttpCookie("UserCookie"); cookie.Value = "status"; <-- this will be replaced with a variable once its working cookie.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddHours(1); Response.SetCookie(cookie);
My problem is that the only place I can put this code where it works is in the global.asax Session_Start method. It simply doesn't work anywhere else. I am checking the cookie creation in firefox options and see the ASP.NET_SessionId created but nothing else (This is all running on localhost).
Is the session status somehow interfering with the cookie creation? Do I need to configure something in Web.config? It would appear that the only time I can create a cookie is on Session_Start. Does anyone have any tips, perhaps I am missing something simple?
I have developed application in ASP.NET and placed on UAT server (windows XP IIS) where it worked fine but since I moved on production server (windows 2003 + IIS) after sometime its keep on expiring the session.
Please suggest urgently if possible how i can make it not to expire session at all.
I try to create a persistent cookie to store a preferred language on our website, but it doesn't work.
So, to isolate the problem, I created a new website, with a blank page and with the code behind bellow. If I click the button, the page post back and I get this:
is my session related tag in web.config file but most of the time if i idle 20 minutes then its automatically timedout and went to my login page, is there any solution ?
I want to be able to detect from C# code how long ago a user logged into the site. I need to take a particular action if it is their first time logging in. IsNewSession does not work, unfortunately.
I set session timeout is 30 at my webconfig. But when i upload a file and click submit button already session timeout. I uploaded 1kb file. I can submit 1 time.
I totally have no idea on how to do this. How can I get the time everytime the user use my system. We are using AD account here so we don't have login and log out. All I want is as long as the user browse to my system whether he is working or it or not become away or any, I will record its time and save it in my database then accumulate all the time he spent in my system for admin reporting.
I am working on a asp.net 3.5 app. In the Global.asax in the Application_Error method, I am logging everthing to ddatabase (log4Net).
I have a session limit of 20 minutes. What happens when the user hits that limit and then clicks on the Submit Button of the app. ?Will that generate any exception? and will that exception be logged into my database as I am logging all exceptions in my Application_Error method.
Requirements: Create a Web Page in ASPx that will do the following:
1)One label will provide a count of how many times Button 1 has been clicked in the current session.
2)One label will provide a count of how many times Button 1 has been clicked by all users of the application. The Application Code for the Button should start at 100 (set this in the Global.asax file). this is what i have so far but i cant seem to get the application state to work properly.

I am writing a chat application, in which a chat starts in a chat room. Now, i want this room active only for a certain amount of time and not more. i.e 1 hour etc. So, to check the time constantly what and how should i write something in the background, so that when the time is over, the sessions of all the users logged in at that chat room get destroyed. And the users are again redirected to the login page. e.g The chat has been setup from 3 to 4 pm. At 3.55 everybody should be given a popup that the chat will end in 5 mins. And at 4 everybodys session should be destroyed and they should be redirected to the login page.
