Is there a way for a user to partially fill out a form and not commit it to the database, leave the page and come back to it and the information that the user filled out is still there?
I am in the process of designing a blogosphere that enable readers to leave comments. I want my dynamically added label controls added to the placeholder on the page to be retained and displayed on subsequent requests or postbacks to the same page. how do I go about this? I have tried using View State but it's kind of beyong me how to work it.
View 1 RepliesI have four dropdowns in the first page and then a button which saves the selected values from the dropdown to a session state .
In the second page I do have previous button which comes to the first page. My problem is that the dropdown values are not getting preserved.
Here is my code for the First page
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

i have asp.net treeview control on my masterpage which is associated with many pages now my requirement is that when ever iam clicking child nodes in the treeview its getting navigate to the appropriate page but treeview not retaining its position.its getting collapse to its default position.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to retain "visible" property of a control using view state in the following way
public bool showstatusbox {
get { return Convert.ToBoolean(ViewState["statusbox"]); }
set { ViewState["statusbox"] = value; }
}
Is there anything I should do other than this to retain value. Because, though I store the value in view state, on postback, its becoming null.
We have a scenario where we need to store large tables of data on Session in asp.net page. on a highlevel we have to store following data
1> A table (table 1) with 1000 rows and 8 to 10 columns.
2> A table(table 2) with 500 rows and 8 to 10 columns (actually user can add the data from table 1 to table 2, so as user keeps on adding from table 1 we remove the data and put it in table 2)
3> Another table(table 3) with 1000-1200 rows each having 3 columns.
We are having a webfarm, so we need to store it in either SateServer of Oracle DB,What would be the performance implications of storing such huge data on the server.
One more thing is at any point of time max of 70 -80 people will be accessing our website, so will this cause any performance degradation?

View 2 RepliesI am using the .net 3.5 chart controls and I am binding a chart to a datatable datasource. How do you keep the charts displayed after a postback has ocured. I bind my chart control. The on the page i make a change to a dropdownlist that issues a postback to the server. When the page reloads the charts have no data. How can you make the chart object persist it's data during postback?
View 1 RepliesI am doing a POC of making my website run faster. Currently it stores huge object data in Session while passing information from one page to another. What I was thinking is to use shared methods and properties instead of session. It works, but wanted tocheck if this is an optimum way to do it. Below is the code that does not use session but still pass object data from one page to another:

i have a form on page1.aspx with several controls (textbox, dropdownlist, etc).on Page1 PageLoad event i load data from database and performe databinding.From Page1 a user can, by clicking a specific button, move to Page2.aspx to insert some details and, after saving details, he returns to page1.
if save changes are made on control on page1 before save them to db, obviously, these are lost on return from page2 (because are reloaded on pageload from db).How can i save control status between pages round trip?
i need to know the full concepts state manegemnt in asp.net,..in which site i will get the correct concept for state management....

User Interface: 2 Labels; 1 Buttons
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 have a large SQL Database in the server from which I can create a dataset of about 10000 rows. My question is about caching this data. Which type of data caching should I choose (Server side or Client side)? Which one will provide better performance?
View 5 RepliesCustomer were getting "View State Validation Error" due to worker process recycling at our production webserver and to fix that i applied machinekey and then move my Session state Mode from In Proc to State Server to retain session data and not kick out the customer to relogin. I had serialization issue with one object which has to be stored in session but when i moved it out of session i could able to resolve the issue.
But doing all these i was partly successfull in keeping the user in their session when Worker Process recycle event occurs.I was able to refresh the page or make a post back by clicking the refresh button and also able to retain the session values. But the Problem occurs when sending asynchronous request to server which we do periodically every 15 minutes from the moment the user logs in.The web page doesnot update data on website when sending asynchronous request.By Debugging I found at this particular code point it fails to make a postback which is required.
<%=GetHintFromServer%> (When there is no Worker Process recycle i t gets replaced by
WebForm_DoCallback('__Page',message,ShowHint,null,null,false) on postback) Everything works fine when there is no Worker Process Recyling but when it happens looks like sending request asynchronously using javascript fails .Remember When I make a post back by manually clicking submit button everything works fine.
SendRequest(Asynchronous)
function SendRequest(msg, isBusy, chartMsg, vesselMsg)
{
try
{
//confirm("msg"+msg+"isBusy"+isBusy+"chartMsg"+chartMsg+"VesselMsg"+vesselMsg);
_busy = isBusy;
if(chartMsg != null)
{
//confirm("chartMsg"+chartMsg);
_element.SetMessage(true, chartMsg);
}
if(vesselMsg != null)
{
confirm("chartMsg"+vesselMsg);
_element.ShowVesselLoading(true, vesselMsg);
}
_stuckWatchdog = setTimeout( "ClearPendingRequest();", 60000);
var message = msg;
var context = '';

}

{
alert( "Exception error on SendRequest(): " + e);

Let me explain, describing the scenario:In a custom server control (in my case, derived from CompositeControl), in the overidden CreateChildControls method I create a complex tree of subcontrols, using information from a db.The db provides both information on which controls I need to create (the user interface's structure) and the data used to fill these controls.Than the user can interact with the control and change the data (that becomes different to what stored on db).
My custom control lives in the same page where there are other controls, obviously.And these controls can cause a postback at any time.What I need is that my custom control keeps the data entered by the user across these postback, without reverting to the original data and loose the user data entry.
Here is the first doubt:
1)I create the subcontrols dinamically in the CreateChildControls at any page refresh (both on first call than on postback).I know that the framework solves the reference between the posted data and the controls I create in the CreateChildControls in order to set properties and raise control events, but can you tell me when and how it actually does this? In which phase of page life cycle? What happens after the CreateChildControls?
A second doubt:2)If the user interface structure must change as a consequence of the data entered, I had to execute CreateChildControls twice (the first time to recreate the original interface to get the events and the second time to create the new interface)
In which phase of page/control lifecycle do I have to make the second call to CreateChildControls? I do it on Prerender now, but is it right or wrong, and why?
I am new to .net 4.0 and am using EF Model and SessionState Mode=SqlServer and I am getting this error below:
Unable to serialize the session state. In 'StateServer' and 'SQLServer' mode, ASP.NET will serialize the session state objects, and as a result non-serializable objects or MarshalByRef objects are not permitted. The same restriction applies if similar serialization is done by the custom session state store in 'Custom' mode.
I checked the stack trace and its complaining about
[assembly: global::System.Data.Objects.DataClasses.EdmSchemaAttribute()]
[assembly: global::System.Data.Objects.DataClasses.EdmRelationshipAttribute("PoplarGroveModel", "tblMenuRole", "tblMenu", global::System.Data.Metadata.Edm.RelationshipMultiplicity.Many, typeof(PoplarGroveDataModel.Menu), "tblRole",

I marked it as serializable but then it complains about System.Data.Objects.ObjectContext is not marked as serializable and hence throws the same error.
I am having a ASP.net application it having three pages ,page 1,page 2,page 3,when the user navigating between this pages I want to maintain the view state in page level after postbacks(i.e.) .If a user visits page 3, passing some query loads some data .then he moves to page 1 doing some entries .after that he once again moves to page 3 now I want to display the data previously available at the time he moves to page 1, same
way I want to do to my three pages up to the user logging out.
Our ASP.NET App uses ASP State Session Management and has been rebuilt about 2 years ago [With .NET Framework 2.0]. We are currently in .NET framework 3.5 and have moved to SQL Server 2008 - but continue to use the same ASPState database. The State database has been upgraded to SQL Server 2008. Since then we have are seeing timouts/locks on ASPStateTempSessions table. I am wondering if we have to rebuild this database from scratch with some newer scripts?
View 2 RepliesI'm using the following line of code to display the number of users currently logged on:
lblNoOfUsers.Text = Membership.GetNumberOfUsersOnline().ToString()
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?
I am trying to set a session variable in the global.asax file and keep running into the problem that the Session is null.
I am running my application in VS2008 and using asp.net 3.51.
Here is my code:
1. In my web.config file I have enabled the session state and added the following line;
<sessionState
cookieless="false"
mode="InProc"
timeout="60"
></sessionState>
2. In the Session_Start procedure in the Global.asax file I set the session variable to a default value.
[Code]....
My problem seems to be that when the Application_Error procedure is executed the session state is lost.
Does anyone know why the session state isn't available in the Global.asax file.
All we have a global ships position tracking website which runs smoothly until IIS application pool recycles.When there is workerprocess recycling looks like session state expires as a result i loose all session data and when customer clicks refresh button he is redirected to login page.
In web.config Session state mode is set to InProc so i changed it to State Server but to my luck i have MAP object which is not serialiazable which is causing the maps from not appearing on the website.I tried adding serializable attribute to the object class but still not succesfull.Our website is accessed by our customers whose count is more than 1000.
Changing the session state mode from InProc to StateServer can really slow down the response time so
Is it good to go further fix the serailizable issues and move to state server?.
Is there any way I can retain my session data when application pool recyles?..
Stopping Application pool from recycling may not be a good idea considering health factor of web server.
