State Management :: Sharing The Session Variables Between Two .net Applications Using SQL Server Mode?
Sep 18, 2010
I have two different IIS applications within the same domain(let us say www.mydomain.com) , both of these applications use the same database instance(same connectionstring), now what I want is that both of applications can see each sessions variables , can SQL Server session state mode helps in this case? Did someone try that before? Is there any other way to share the session variables?
I would like to share the session variables between 2 applications. basically I have a website and in there I have 2 applications and want to share the session object betwen the two. Is there a way to set something in web.config to enable this?
I have 2 applications App1 and App2 on same domain, both with Forms authentication, each using a different database instance for authentication.
First, I open a browser with application www.mydomain.com/App1 and log on.
After that, when I open another instance of the same browser with application www.mydomain.com/App2 and log on, first browser loses session and goes back to login page.
I need each application on same domain to have its own session so that both can stay logged on.
I have an asp.net solution in which there are two web application projects (client website and admin website) and also a class liabrary project in the same solution . In the live production server, the admin web app is within the client app (eg: client site= [URL] and admin site=[URL]). A class (with static variables) in class liabrary is userd to cache data. My problem is that i cannot get the changes to the static cache by one web project reflected to the other (becoz, i think, they seem to load in seperate appdomains).
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...
Customer 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.
In my web application, I set the mode of session state as State Server and point to another server. After run some days, I always meet following exception:
The state server has closed an expired TCP/IP connection. The IP address of the client is 192.168.80.157. The expired Read operation began at 08/25/2010 14:18:03.
I have a website A which has a link to website B which is currently opening in a different window. When clicked on a link to, the login for B is automatically taken care of as both the websites have same user login credentials.
Now a change in the system has made me embed website B into website A. ie., B will open in the same window of A.. I could achieve this using an IFrame. Now, the session from site A needs to be carried out to site B. Presently, when navigated from A to B, all the sessions on A expire. Once navigated to B the session time out of B from the webconfig is taken. I have used "InProc" as my state management option in web config. Is it possible to maintain single session for both the webistes? If not how to continue same session times for both webistes? I do not want to use "SQL server" state mode.
After doing some research, I found that <sessionState> can be hosted in SQL Server allowing applications to read from the same source. Essentially my app has two sides: a WCF library and an ASP.NET MVC 3 web site, the WCF has authentication and other DB IO methods and the MVC does the display. Now, the MVC stores a value in the session and then the WCF reads it and creates another for the MVC to read later. Problem is, neither can read each others session data, they can write to the same repository but can't share.
How do I go about them sharing the same information? How can I tell <sessionState> that the session started on the MVC side is the same as the WCF side and viceversa? I've tried
i have two solutions, 1. user management and 2. travel management. i publish the user management solution to [URL] and i publish the travel management to [URL] here i face the problem. the default home page would be [URL], its a windows authentication in page load, i capture the username, pass it to procedure which will fetch me his credentials on access. i store these in a session.
in the home page i have link to navigate to travel page, when i try to access the sessions in travel page, its empty. i tried printing the session id in both user management and travel, both are same but the sessions created in user management are empty in travel. what would be problem here and how can i resolve this.
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 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?
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
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 write a simple web site in asp.net. In one page i want to delete a folder of web root. When i delete it folder, the all session in project is changed to null. I write a post in this forum. Here is the adress of it post: ([URL]) Some pepole answer me to change the session state mode to StateServer. In default the session state mode is Inproc, and i changed the session state mode to stateServer.but when i changed the session to stateserver this error is appear in application eventlog after two day and my web site dont working in iis. This error is like this:

i have two applications hosted on two different domains and both use a single login info so my question is how can i use / share same session across two application.
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?
We 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:
[Code]....
ASP.NET State Service is running in server normally, It began run just before this last change, but we have not solved the problem either with this solution.
The server is Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition SP2 32bits running IIS 6.0, and the application is made with Framework 2.0
There are a couple of user's experiences session variable loss after they've clicked a confirm button and their information is email via a relay hosting server. Below, I commented exactly where the session variables get lost.
What could be causing the session variable loss? So far, this only happens to a few users.
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.
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. Anoop
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?
