State Management :: PostBack Triggers Session_Start On Global.asax
Oct 6, 2010
I have a simple aspx Page, which html contains:
[Code]....
and code behind:
[Code]....
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.
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 have a custom provider for authenticaiton that is HTTP Module-based. IIS authentication and web.config authentication is configure to 'None' and allow anonymous. When I probe for User.Identity.Name in Session_Start, it is empty. However User.Identity.Name works elswhere in the application as expected (returns the current user id). Is it possibly during Session_Start no authentication request has been issued, therefore there is no principal at this moment?
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.
what might be best suited to place in the Application_Start and Session_Start subroutines? I know when each subroutine is called. Application_Start when the first user first accesses the web application. Session_Start when a user opens a session with the application. But what code belongs in each of these subroutines. What should the code in each subroutine do?
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.
Context is Null at this point. I am a noob in ASP.NET with regards to Global.asax.cs. This code was written by another developer. EDIT: This is the code with HttpContext...
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
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'm using BlogEngine and i'm changing it a little bit. I tried to show the online visitors number. I added some code in global.asax. My approach is like:
I defined the count of visitors in App start like Application["OnlineVisitors"] = 0
then i increased the count with 1 in the session start and decreased it in session end but it's not working. I downloaded the website to debug in my computer but i never comes to the breakpoint in the session start function. Also sessionstate mode is inprog cookieless= false and timeout = 20
SessionStateModule raises a Start event with a new seesion. Is there a pointer to "deep dive" information?
In particular,
(1) I want to preserve Session state information across a postback to external (web-based) services in my VS 2008 development environment, but am finding that my code is triggering the creation of a new session.
(2) I am using IIS to host WCF Service calls, and it appears that many of those calls trigger the creation of a session. I would like to dive deeper into this, and try to manage (reduce) the number of sessions that are created and their behavior.
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 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.
I'm looking for a way to declare a global variable (so all pages could see) but personal (so if one user puts some value in it, it won't matter to another user or change his value).Sessions and hidden fields won't do. I've tried working with declaring keys in Web.config but unfortunely, the keys values aren't personal, and all users share the same key value.Another way I was thinking was maybe classes, but perhaps there might be an easier solution?
