State Management :: Concurrent Access To Session Object
Mar 30, 2010
I am stuck with the issue of concurrent access to Session object. Actually my problem is i m writing to session in frame1 and trying to access that same Session object at the same time in Frame2's Page. I know about the reader/writer lock. I made the enablesessionstate = readonly in the page where i m writing to session. its giving me strange behavior on IE and firefox.
Its working concurrently in IE8 ( means page2 is diplaying modified values while page1 is changing the session object) but does not work in Firefox even page load is not called untill function on page 1 completed. Either anyone can fix my issue with firefox or there is new solution to reader/writer lock so that i can read the session at the same time while writing.
I want to be able to persist data across a session but do this outside of the built-in session state object. Why is a long story that I will not go into here. I just need to know where I can put data other than in the session object that will persist across the specific session.
On my local machine I've got a website running which uses the login control to authenticate a user and write a formsauthentication ticket to the client (which is also on the same local machine). At the login process it stores a a small serializable userobject in a session object named Session["appuser"]. Now when I open FF and login to the website all is fine so far... But here's the thing I cannot for the life of me figure out...
When I open IE8 and login to the same website, the session object which was created in FF is completely overwritten with the one created in IE. I thought that every session is unique, but now I'm really starting to feel my knowledge of sessions is almost next to nothing... Is there anyone out there that could tell me why I'm seeing this.
I have a object of Class named "Employee" I need to store the object in the session. what happens if i do not serialize the object and store in the session.
I have a Authorizeclient.aspx.cs page where I set my session value.Authorizeclient.aspx is a blank page. HttpContext.Current.Session["nodeID"]="0". This session value changes from 0 or non zero which depends on the value returned by Database. If no value is returned I assign HttpContext.Current.Session["nodeID"]="0" as the default state else I assign HttpContext.Current.Session["nodeID"]=resolve(nodeID).ToString()
Till this part it works fine as expected. However, I have a requirement that I need to read the nodeID from Session in other application on the same server. I mean this application too is part of the root project where I initially created the Session and set it. The strange thing is the Session["nodeID"] in application gets null "SOMETIMES" Not always. I am trying to read the Session in Page_Load. Sometimes it works fine and sometimes it gets null. Moreover the session object do not die and I can see other keys like Session["Themes"] etc there. The session is in InProc mode and have 20 minutes timeout time.
I have a asp.net application where I am saving off into session the user privilege information. From a grid I am bring up a new window by using the window.open. It seems that it is whiping out the values in session. A temporary bandaid I have placed on it is to recall the database if the value is nothing to reset the user object. I have found all over the internet that this is an issue with the window.open in IE 7 and IE 8. Has anyone else run into this and able to actually fix it?

I am not entirely sure what is causing it. Its completley intermitent. I am storing all the details of a user filling in a form in a structure, and then assigning that structure to a session variable. This means if they page back, and then page forward again, I can pre-populate the form with the details they have already filled in for their conveinience by using the above code snippet. It appears that it works for a good minute, but if I leave the browser alone any longer than roughly 60 seconds, and then try and page forward to the form again, the exception will fire. While writing this post, the exception has occured in again in firefox, but interestingly, Google Chrome doesn't seem to have this problem. It looks like I can leave chrome alone for as long as I want and it will still work.
my solution currently has a website project and a class library project. I am attempting to access a session object from my class library but it is always returning null. In a settings class in my class library I store these values like so:
private static SessionProperty<WebUser> _currentUser = new SessionProperty<WebUser>("CurrentUser", delegate { return new WebUser(); }); public static WebUser CurrentUser { get { return _currentUser.Value; } set { _currentUser.Value = value; } }
I can access this just fine from any aspx page codebehind like so:
I test my asp.net website app in my win 2000 server in Administrator user mode, the session I start (Session("user_ses") = myclass) only lasts a few seconds. But if I do the same as a 'common' user the session lasts 20 minutes, which is the time I set in web.config file:
I am trying to pass a key value from one page to another, using VB.net and Visual Studio 2008 Professional. I am creating a session variable in one aspx page and trying to retrive the value in the second aspx page (Dircted to by a button with the postbackurl set) However, the session object is empty when I try to access it in the second page. If, however, i put a debug hold on the code which retrieves the variable, and examine the session object from the "locals" debug window, i see contents. When I then resume the application the code retrieves the value correctly. I am executing my code using the development server that comes with Visual Studio. Could it have something to do with that?
While working with mutliple tabs of same browser, session varibles/object gets over written with latest one.
Scenario in my application:
I have to create new employee on first tab(tab #1), and updating existing employee details on second tab(tab #2).I stored employee other details in Session["dtInfo"], use it on saving the record.Now Session["dtInfo"] having details of latest tab created, i.e. tab #2. I tried to save record on tab #1, facing the problem of session gets over written.I had to check some vaules on OnInit and OnInitComplete event. But I get here wrong values in session.
I noticed that when i am debugging my web application in Visual Studio 2005 using IIS, after about 10-15 minutes of inactivity, when I do something in the application such as a postback, I get an immediate error saying: "object reference not set to an instance" and my code breaks somewhere.Is my assumption correct that this is because my session has timed out? ( i do have a 15 minute default session time)my next question is, how do I display or set a way so that like many other pages, when the session has expired, a message will say: "This page must be refreshed" or "Your session has expired, click okay to refresh page" and start over again?
Ive created an object and placed it in the session, then in my .ashx handler I want to get that object from the session. The problem is that its always null !
heres how ive placed the object into the session from an aspx page
I'm having a problem with a class library I'm building. I have a class called Users and inside this class I have a property called UserInfo that is an object. Both of the classes Users and UserInfo are built using MyGenerations dOOdads. When I create an object instance of the Users class I am able to access the UserInfo property without a problem in my Windows App, however when I using the same library in a website the UserInfo property continues to return a no reference error. Like I said when running it in a WinApp I have no problems at all, I can access the UserInfo property and likewise all of UserInfo's properties. I am also having problems trying to debug the library using the website. And again I have no problems when using the WinApp. The way I've set it up is I have the Class library project open, and then I add the WinApp project and then the website project. When I set the WinApp as the startup project and run it I have no problems, I can set breakpoints and step through the code no problem. But when I set the Website as the startup project and try to debug I get a massage saying the breakpoint won't be hit. I then do what it tells me and right click on the breakpoint and set the location to allow the source to be different. This lets me hit the breakpoint, but every time I hit F10 to step I get "There is no source code available for the current location." For every step I take. This is making it really hard for me to figure out what going on with the code in the website. Sorry for the lengthy explanation. Here's the Users class, again it works great in the WinApp, just not the website.
I have two projects ,one is webforms and other is Business logic, i am storing username in Session Variable, i have audit module in businss logic which has event handlers to do auditing on object create / remove. i want to store username in audit trail, i want to save username in some global place which is session bounded so that i can get the username in my audit module.i dont want to refer System.web, or httpcontext in my businesslogic project.pls help how i can acheive this. i found this article but cudnt understand much.
"Now one option if you want to have your DLL pull the stuff from Session is to abstract out session. So you could define an interface like IStorage, that your library will know how to use. Then you can have a SessionStorage or MemoryStorage class and use IoC to inject the appropiate class into your library classes. This gives you the freedom to code it how you wanted it to be coded without tying your code to Session. Oh and one other benefit if done properly can be used to not tie your code to session in the web either.
i'm having a gridview with textboxes and i'm allowing user to enter all the textboxes and when submit button is clicked, I'm constructing the Object and adding all the rows to LIST class.,After that i'm putting that LIST elements in a session. Everything is fine, But when i try to cast the session object to LIST type and pass it to XML serialization, I cannot see the elements in the list and it is showing LIST as NULL. I can see the generated XML string with ROOT and my classname as attributes without no data.
I have a multiview inside an updatepanel. in one of the views, I save a value in a session object like this:
Session["xyz"] = "some string value";
Then I switch to another view and try to pick it up the value in a button's OnClick event:
string x = Session["xyz"].ToString();
But I get a null reference error. Debugging it shows that Session["xyz"] is indeed null, yet other Session variables are still there. Is there something special about Session and AJAX?
This source what i have used to create cache object.Also i have checked if "AppCache_Caption" cache object is available or not. [Code].... Right now i have checked and created my login page page_load event.It will create cache object every time me access the login page.What are the conditions wrong my source?My expectation, cache object creates only one time.It will not create everytime.
I am using the Session ID Manager. Now the session count is 0 between the access to pages, so I cannot access the Session variables. How do I save the value of Session variables.
