I am using Session ID Manager in all the pages of the website, but I am losing session variables in between the pages. what should I do to save the values of session variables.

I have session variable that is created in EditPlaylist.aspx. Edit.aspx is loading EditPlaylist.aspx in an iframe.

I am using Windows xp/ .net 2.0 / vs 2005 for development environment. My session data (not all session data) are getting lost when I try to navigate between pages through window.open but the same is working perfectly in proc mode but in state server / sql server mode I am facing the problem.
View 9 RepliesI am working on an asp.net website using C#. The site deals with orders and therefore order lines. I would like to store the order in memory whilst it is being populated (with order lines) and once it gets submitted write it to a database.
The above logic has been implemented, but sometimes when accessing session state or storing a variable in it information gets lost. Take note that the web server is running a dual-core processor. I am also using the in proc session state server.
I tried changing over to using the out proc session state server (asp.net state service), but it requires serialization. Since the order and orderlines are actually linq to sql classes, the entitysets and entityref's fail to serialize.
Does anyone know the reason why session state loses information occasionally and possibly how to eliminate the problem?
How can I retain the value of variables that I fill from CodeBehind throughout the session? (C#). For example, I do a LINQ query from the log in "on-Click" button event. The query produces a bunch of data about the user that I want to access throughout the session on additional ASP pages. I know that I can pass a large query string but I suspect that there is a better way. Here's a specific...
from the db function I product: COS=2 (class of service). Throughout the session, I test for COS and display appropriate pages. Assume that the LINQ query is accomplished in the CodeBehind attached to the "loginButton" within the "login.aspx" page.
In my Application_BeginRequest I have code that gets query string value ?c=FR or ?c=US and store it in cookies.Based on query string value I have either US or FR,locale is selected from locale table.If ?c=FR then locale will be fr-FR and if it is US then locale will be en-US.My code is below.
void Application_BeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
LocalizationInfo loc = GetLocalizationInfo();
if (Request.Cookies["Localization"] == null)
Response.Cookies.Add(new HttpCookie("Localization"));
Response.Cookies["Localization"]["Country"] = loc.Country;
CultureInfo objCI = new CultureInfo(loc.Locale);
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = objCI;
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = objCI;
}
public static LocalizationInfo GetLocalizationInfo()
{
string countryCode = "";
string sLocale = "";
if (HttpContext.Current.Response.Cookies["Localization"]["Country"] != null)
countryCode = HttpContext.Current.Response.Cookies["Localization"]["Country"];
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(HttpContext.Current.Request.QueryString["c"]))
countryCode = HttpContext.Current.Request.QueryString["c"];
if (countryCode == "")
countryCode = "US";
sLocale = HertzRent2Buy.DataProvider.ListData.GetLocale(countryCode);
LocalizationInfo ret = new LocalizationInfo();
ret.Country = countryCode;
ret.Locale = sLocale;
return ret;
}
public struct LocalizationInfo
{
public string Country;
public string Locale;
}
Now when I run the project and in query string I set [URL] then for the very first page(home page itself) it shows me French translation,but on subsequent page,that query string parameter ?c=FR is lost and hence it shows be English translation not French translation since it does not pickup French resx file.If I manually append ?c=FR in subsequent page then it shows the French translation.Is there is way how I can make that query stringparameter available in all pages.Structure is there to hold Country and locale variables. In all pages I am calling GetLocalizationInfo() method as follow
LocalizationInfo info = some.DataProvider.Globalization.GetLocalizationInfo();
And I create instance info to pass locale and country as parameter. GetProductDetails(id,info.Country,info.locale). why my query string parameters get lost on subsequent pages.
I'm not sure if this is an error or is the right work mode for sql sessions.
I'm working now with Windows 2008 R2 Web Ed. and SQL Server 2008 Web Ed.
When I close my browse and open again a new browser window I need to login again in asp.net application and a new session is created in the sessions table in sql server.
It's this normal? I remember that with Windows 2003 and SQL 2005 this doesn't happend. When I closed my browser and open inmediately a new browser window my session was retained and I could continue working without relogin.
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 use some session variables to get the job done(shopping cart, etc) but it is not stable..manytimes I get no items in session object and other times(refreshing the page) I get missing data...I downloaded the entire site code to my local pc and debugged it and run it succesfully without any session data missing...When I run it in the server, I get bad session again: no products in shopping cart or products with missing quantities...
The same website runs smoothly in our production server too....The problem is with our development server...
I have some code in my page load event where I just want to fire once when the user opens the Browser. The only issue is if you open a new tab with the same website the session variable does not reset. Is there a way to reset the session variable when you open a new tab or do you have to take the whole web browser down for it to clear the session variable.

I have a problem with a couple of web sites where my session state gets lost prematurely.
I use the Inproc session provider and Asp.net 2.0. Which of these are true:
The antivirus software disturbs the session. IIS recycles the app pool every 2 hours and it does not retain the sessions during a recycle. Index server disturbs the session. Anything else that can have disturbed the session?
Existing applications works fine with IE 6 and 7, the problem occurs only with IE 8. A new session is created everytime a window.open is used to open a new asp page. This does not happen in IE 6 or 7.

I've been building ASP.Net applications for a few years now but most of my work is focused on business apps that'll be used by less than 50 people, running on an Intranet.
Today I had a conversation with a colleague who is thinking of using ASP.Net to build a commercial application that could potentially be used by 1 Million users. He wanted to know about the scalability of ASP.Net apps and how much (or how little) of stateful objects likes Session variables he could use and still keep his app scalable. To this I did not have an answer, which is why I'm turning to the community.
Striving to keep your bias to a minimum, if you were going to build an ASP.Net application for 1 Million users that provided a rich UI experience, what parts of Microsoft's technologies to keep track of state would you avoid or keep to a minimum?
I am creating a presentation on basis of some selected values and maitaning the selected values in a session variable named Session("userPref") in collection form.
Now I am opening a TablePreview.aspx page by javascript window.open() function.
On Page_Load of TablePreview.aspx I am reading some values of Session("userPref") and doing some operatons.
For saving the presentation I have created a page wizardsave.aspx.
Now I am opening the wizardsave.aspx from TablePreview.aspx by window.open() function for saving presentation, but on Page_Load of wizardsave.aspx. I found that some value from collection stored in Session("userPref") have lost.
asp.net session data lost on postback of the page in windows XP.
View 4 RepliesWe are working in a web application using Session variables to store the clients ID to operate with them in all app (making orders, reports, etc....) but randomly users get the client ID of another user in any moment using the application.
I have tried to solve it in a first step adding to system.web section in the web.config file this:

How to keep the session variables even after closing the browser?
Everytime I close the browser, I lose all the session variables.
Is there any way to keep them?
We are in the process of refactoring from cf to .net, so, I am working on the Login page and converting it from cf to .net. So, when I am autheticated and enter into our website, I need to redirect it to a cfm page (just temporary, since we will be refactoring that also eventually).
So, I am autheticated (using CustomMembership Provider model for sql server) and then when I redirect to the cfm, the app.cfm should validate the .net session variables. Here is where i am stuck:
I have the .net session variables in the aspx side:something like Session["UserId"].ToString() = Value from a login txt box (also authenticated against data in the database)
Session["UserName"].ToString() = Value from the db corresponding to the User Name entered in the text box.
So, now I have all the session variables in the .net side. Now, how do I retreive these .net session in the cf side? Any small peice of code to retrive the asp.net session variable in the application.cfm side would be great.
if using session variables to store and retrieve information is a bad practice? Let me give you some background:
I am developing a site for a friend of mine, and his site is hosted by Go-Daddy. My feeling is that Go-Daddy is not the best place to host a .NET site, but it is what it is.
After the first version of the site was published and people started using it, users immediately started having session time-out problems and null exceptions when referencing session variables. I researched everything I could and tried everything I could think to do, but I just could not correct the issue.
Then, while doing some testing, I discovered that users weren't individually timing-out and losing their session information, but, rather, all users where timing out at exactly the same time, regardless of how long they had been logged in or what they were doing. So, for whatever reason, the server was just dumping all sessions at random intervals.
At this point I needed to move on with the project so I added a number of cookies to replace the session variables, and everything began working properly.
in a hosted environment, should I avoid using session variables? Is it as problamatic as my research and experience would indicate, or is this simply due to the fact that I am working with a poor hosting company in Go-Daddy?
i have 2 different sites under different subdomains.
www.company.com
and e-order.company.com
i want to have SSO so i have tried to make a global cookie.
my question is :does the global cookie keeps the session variables when i am going from one site to another?
if not how can i pass a session variable for ex. session("userName") from one site to the other on redirect?
1) As per my understanding, Session variables like HashTable and another variable in Session must be initialized. The best place as per my knowledge is Sesson_Start Event. But at some post its written that we must do that in Application_Start. I think it is not true, as that could lead to problems with different user sessions. Reference is this [URL] Let me know about the concept.
2) Storing variables like string, boolean and etc in Session is slower than storing objects in Session like HashTable, Arrays etc.. becuase they dont require boxing and unboxing. Is that true? Reference. [URL]
I created a virtual directory for new .ASPX pages added to existing ASP website. I found that the new .ASPX pages are not able to access the session variables created by the existing .ASP pages (outside the virtual directory).
