how to get sessions in the global.asax, but I still cant get it to work...for some reason my session throws NullExceptions..the sessions are set from another page add looks something like:
[Code]....
And once I try to get those session values I do the following in the Global.asax:
[Code]....
But as I said, for some reason I get a NullException once I try to get the values...and they do have the same session-name,so they shouldn't be null..
I added the following code to global.asax to load up several session variable when a session starts. I'm assuming that when a page goes to use the variable that I should be
1) checking at the page level that the value is valid not 0 when its not expected to be 0, not a zero-length string when its expected to have a length
2) have code at the page level that sets the values if the values have not been set as when the Session timeout, ideally putting the code in a class derived from Page and then deriving all of my pages from the new class so that the code does not have to be repeated in every page
i dont know about Global.asax so give some information about it and also tell me about the implementation and use of session_start and session_end event. How to call Global.asax in our website.
I have a custom class that pulls user information from a SQL Server table. Now that I'm expanding the site from a single page to others. I want to shift the code to the Session_Start event so that the information is always loaded when the site is accessed. How do I call my custom code from global.asax since its script and not a class.
I want to insitate a class instance in the session start of the application. code below
if (Session["user"] != null)
Session["user"] = new user();
I have created the "user" class as a separte dll and referenced and imported the namespace.But still i get 'are u missing assembly reference' it is not problem in 1.1 but seems has a problem in 2.0
This is quite simple. When I press btn1, it sets correctly the Session Key. And this is then the issue arrives: When I press one of these buttons, this is the sequence of what happens:
So, everytime there is a PostBack, even before the Page loads, the session starts and generates a new Id. This way, I loose everything during the PostBack. My Session State configuration:
[Code]....
This is running on VS 2010 + V3.5, on IIS5.1. The Page header configuration is default.
Can I set the connection string for custom session state mode in global.asax file? I cannot hard code the connection string in the webconfig file. ,I will get the connection string at runtime,Can i set the connection string for custom sessionmode/sqlserver session mode in the global.asax file(like in application statrevent, or aquirerequeststate event.If YES How to do that?
I'm using VS2010 and created a simple asp. web forms application, using Development Server to test it. I try to store user data - queried from sql server - in the session, since I don't want to access database in every request. I'm using the 'Application_AuthenticateRequest' and the 'Session_Start' methods.
First round:
AuthenticateRequest called. The following code ran:
[Code]....
The _current variable is a private static field published through a static property. In the first round the Session is null, and I think it's ok because the Session_Start not called yet. The Session_Start looks like this:
In the next round the Session_Start is not called of course but in the AuthenticateRequest I can't access to the session. The HttpContext.Current.Session is null and the this.Session reference throw a HttpException says the "Session state is not available in this context".
However I can access the Session from any of the page_load events but it's a bad practice I think that I put authentication every page_load.
I have a method in one class file with defination like this which gets the user id of logged person.
public string GetUserID(HttpRequest req) { .... }
I need to call this method in global.asax and save that value in session. I need to use this session value i need to use this Session value and assign that to label in Masterpage. I did not use global.asax before. And what should be the input to method... i have seen only Request is have the returntype HttpRequest. So i thought of giving that.
I'm getting a very peculiar problem with my asp.net application, it took me an age to track down but I still don't know what is causing this behaviour.
If I set a session variable in the Application_PreRequestHandlerExecute event, then my external JavaScript files are ignored, and therfore causing a raft of errors. I have simplified the problem below.
E.g.
I have file called JScript.js containing the code:
function myAlert() { alert("Hi World"); }
And in my Default.aspx file I reference the js with the code:
And in the body onload event I call the myAlert() function:
<body onload="myAlert()">
And finally in the Global.asax file:
Private Sub Application_PreRequestHandlerExecute(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) HttpContext.Current.Session("myVar") = "MyValue" End Sub
If you run the Default.aspx file you will see the js function isnt called, however, if you comment out the line of code Global.asax then the external js is called and the function executed when the page loads.
I am have declared a session variable in login page of my application. I want to access that session variable in Application_BeginRequest of global.asax file. But I am not able to do it. Could you please suggest how to access the session variable in my global.asax file
My ASP.NET intranet web application uses Windows Authentication, and I would like to record the following details:
1) Windows ID 2) Session Start Time 3) Session Stop Time 4) URL being browsed to (optional)
I've got some basic code setup in "Session_Start" method of the Global.ASAX to log session start times (seen below), but that's it so far. I have the feeling this is a primitive approach and there are "better" ways of doing this. So I really have two questions:
1) Is this the right way to go about doing this? If not what are some other options? 2) If this is the right way, do I just need to drop some code in the "Session_End" method to record the time they exit, and thats a complete solution? Does this method always get called when they close the browser tab they have the site open in, or do they have to close the entire browser (I don't have logout functionality)? Any way users can skip over this session end method (or start for that case)?
Dim connsql As New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("MyConnectionstring").ConnectionString) Dim cmdsql As System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand = connsql.CreateCommand cmdsql.CommandText = "BeginUserSession" cmdsql.CommandType = Data.CommandType.StoredProcedure Try cmdsql.Parameters.Add("@windowsid", System.Data.SqlDbType.VarChar, 30, "windowsid") cmdsql.Parameters("@windowsid").Value = Session("UserInfo").identity.name If connsql.State <> System.Data.ConnectionState.Open Then connsql.Open() cmdsql.ExecuteNonQuery() connsql.Close() Catch ex As Exception Finally If connsql.State <> Data.ConnectionState.Closed Then connsql.Close() End Try
to set a new sessionId on sign out, but when the session expires, the sessionId is reused if the browser instance is not closed. In my web.config I have used
but still get sessions reused. I can't kill the cookie in Session_end() because I don't have access because there is no HttpContext or request, so I can't reset it that way. how I can force a new sessionId from the Global.asax.cs file?
I read the solutioin for this error, at the following link :http://forums.asp.net/p/1046935/1576341.aspxbut I am still not clear what exactly causes the error. I have two doubts :1. Can anyone please elaborate a bit on this issue, with any example ????2. Is there any drawback of this approach ?
I know there is a couple answered questions on here regarding "request scoped" globals, but I want to nit-pick on something specifically and maybe squeeze some extra enlightenment out of one or two of you.I have an ASP.NET C# Website and a static Dictionary of objects (loaded from DB once on Application start). Each page request will need to do a lookup in the Dictionary (based on a key derived from the request url/etc) and get the appropriate object.The issue is I'm trying to maximize efficiency by reducing the lookups to the Dictionary per Request. Doing just a single lookup within a Page itself is easy enough and I can pass the object to sub controls, etc too.. but global.asax is separate from the Page and it also needs to use the object (in Application_BeginRequest and Session_Start).
So is doing a Dictionary lookup once in Application_BeginRequest, once (when necessary) in Session_Start and once in the Page negligible speed wise, even if there are many requests coming in every second?I would like it if I could just have a Request scoped global variable that I can easily call upon.. the only one I see available though is HttpContext.Current.Items and that is a Dictionary itself.Am I beingridiculously nit-picky with my concern over efficiency? or will these milliseconds (nanoseconds?) get me in the long run when more and more requests are being made?
PS. I currently only have around 100 objects in the Dictionary although this may increase in the future.
