View 3 RepliesTrack and identify users with Memcached
View 3 RepliesI have social network website that contains thousands of users. Until now I used the classic way of storing user's details in the session object. Now, I want to upgrade it, so it will work against Memcached, and the key value is the "userId". My question is: What is or where is the best place to keep the "userId" so I can use it constantly for querying the user's details from Memcached?
View 1 RepliesI tried to set a Cookies by Response.Chookies("chookie1") into a user's machine and found difficult to get the Cookies by Request.Chookies("chookie1"). I think that is because the person used various cs(User-Agent) (browser names?). Here are some of them:
Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+6.0;+Windows+NT+5.1)
Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+6.0;+Windows+NT+5.1;+SV1;+.NET+CLR+1.1.4322)
Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+6.0;+Windows+NT+5.1;+SV1;+InfoPath.1
In such case, how can I set Cookies to identify that machine?
I work in a multi server , multi webfarm environment (without sessions). We need to be able to identfy if a customer has arrived here for the first or has been before (even though they have not logged in)Not only will we change the text of our salutations depeding on this state but we will also use it in other busness logic. I can check for the existance of a cookie when they fire the Session_onStart event but I would have to write a cookie out to show they had previously visited for the next time the customer came to call.
If I wrote the cookie out in the Session_onStart then somehow I would have to tell the website that this was a first time visit. Also as this is a stateless webfarm - the next server may be different from the previous one which would fire a new Session_onStart event in its own right - which would see the cookie and assume it was not my first visit, even though it was my first visit on a different web page of the web site.
I dont want to write it out and say if its within X minutes of the cookie creation time you are still in your first visit as that x minutes wouldnt work 100% of the time If I dont write the cookie out on Session_onStart then when could I write it out?
I have a small db table that has a data field that is used throught my web application. What is the best way to carry this value from page to page with out calling the table everytime the page if refreshed or a new page requests the value?
I am using VS2010 .net framwork 3.5 SQL Server 2008 and utilizing LINQ for my queries.
using listbox to add controls. I'm using this listbox to track the change in the value of item in listbox to have confirmation from user if he make some changes on page while he navigates from the page. In other scenario it works fine(if user is navigating to another page).But I have a situation where i need to postback the page and trace whether the item's text in the list box is dirty or not. Can i trace with the dirtytext property of listbox.

Above is my configuration.
Because one user is getting the session values of other users due to some reason that I dont know .
I have created a simple website in asp.net using forms authendications but when I publish my website in IIS 6 on a Windows Server 2003 machine it keeps the users logged in for ever even though I have set the web.config to expire after 30 min. My website has 2 pages a login.aspx and a home.html. When I run the website in my development machine using the ASP.NET Development Server I have no problem the website works as expected meaning the users can not access the home.html unless the have been authendicated by the login.aspx page.
Also once loged in, after clearing the browser cookies the web site asks for login again which is again the behavior that I am trying to accomplish. However once the website is on IIS does not take in account the authendication that I have set up on my web.config. What is overriding my web.config? Do I need to make some changes to the global configuration of IIS?

I are building a web application which will be deployed to Windows Azure. I want user to set session timeout value which will be stored in Database. Currently I am aware of Web.Config method to set session timeout. i.e.
<sessionState
mode ="InProc"
timeout ="60"></sessionState>
Is there any method to set session timeout value according to User's Preference?
We have a problem when 2 users from different machines click on button to open the same modal window at the same time from the same page, they see the same data, which are not suppose to be.
i do my checks and see that they are getting the same page instance , i see that the page.GetHashCode and the page.SessionID is same for both users.
I have a default 30 min session timeout for normal users. Now i want to set 1 hour time out for admin users. Can someone guide me how to acomplish this.
View 4 RepliesI totally have no idea on how to do this. How can I get the time everytime the user use my system. We are using AD account here so we don't have login and log out. All I want is as long as the user browse to my system whether he is working or it or not become away or any, I will record its time and save it in my database then accumulate all the time he spent in my system for admin reporting.
View 5 RepliesI have to maintain session of two users on a sigle page.And the path is. UserPath:
1.User logins with his credentials((We retrive their credentials from login table) .
2.He invites some of his friends for a birthday party.
3.And send an url link to share some of the gifts with them in which gifts are provided in Share.aspx page.
4.Userlogouts.
Invites path:
1.Invite logs in with his credentials(We retrive their credentials from invites table).
2.He is directed to go to Share.aspx and list the items he require.
3.And he logs out.
Now i have problem in maintaining session for both the user and invite. How can i maintain the session so,that the user can identify a particular invite from the list of invites an his chosen items.
I have a website that has 10 aspx pages in it, and I'm trying to count how many users are on any one page at a time, and display that number on the web page. I have set it up to use an Application object ("TotalViewers"), and initialize it to 0 in the Application_Start event handler of the global.asax file. My reasoning (probably way off base) is to increment the count on each page load, and then decrement the count on each page unload. The increment part works ok, but when I add the code in the page unload event handler to decrement, it seems that Unload happens before the Page is presented to the client, so the value always stays the same (adds one in page load, subtracts one in page unload).
How else can I track number of users on each page? (simply, becuase I am still a beginner). I have already done some google searching and haven't come up with anything useful.
All my pages are being navigated via a TreeView control.
I am saving for each user a session with information about his current page viewing.
Each time the user is moving to a new page, I am updating the session with the new page he is right now.
Now, my question is if I can make any loop over all of my users session and answer a question like: How many users are now on page "2.aspx" for example?
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.
Part of the email that gets sent out:

I need to save how many times (seconds / minutes) each user spend in my site from his enterance to my site till exit it. How can I do this?
View 9 RepliesI have some webforms and the main page grabs the users email address when they login and a UserID. It's not uncommon for the user to keep the web page open all day. Is it good practice to store the email address and ID as a session variable and up the timeout to say 10 hours? Or is there a better way? My concern is A) Session variables timing out before the user login timesout B) Doing this incorrectly.
View 12 RepliesI have a main website say www.main.com which is developed in asp.net. We have used forms authetications here.
Now the thing is I have a no of subdomains on the same server say domain1.main.com, domain2.main.com, domain3.main.com etc.
I had put some functionality there. What i want is when i redirect my users to the subdomains user has to log in again.
what are the method where i can preserve the users state in my subdomains also.
In my web application, I want to alert users 5 minutes before their session timeout. If the users want, they can either extend their session or ignore the mssage - in which case after session timeout they will be redirected to the login page (I'm also using forms authentication in my site, so have set the authentication cookie expire time to the session timeout).I know I can do the alert with window.setTimeout, but I want to get user's respond and refresh the page if they want a session extension. How can I do that,
in which event and whether I can do this in C# code behind. And also, should I implement this
in the base page or somewhere else? How can I implement the auto page refresh - should I use a hidden button and click it from Javascript?
I would like to know if anyone knows of any way or software that will give me a count of the number of unique users to use my site in the last 5 minutes. I want to make some updates to my site during the day but I want to check to see if there is slow traffic then I can do it but if it's busy I can wait till a later time.
View 7 RepliesWe've got a fairly large, complex web application that uses Forms Authentication to authenticate users. Throughout the application we store and retrieve information about users in the Session object, and in some cases in cookies. In a couple places we check for the existence of the context, and if it's null we send the user back to the login page to re-establish the session. Just a quick run-down of this web app: C#, .NET 3.5, IIS 6, ASP.NET State Service to manage sessionAs for the session timer, we use our own home-grown timer, which is basically a client-side timer, which is backed up by a check to the SQL database to see when their last activity was. This seems to work well for us. It's not perfect, but it allows us to notify the user before the session times out, and allows us to be certain we're not logging a user out before their 60 minutes of inactivity is up.What's happening is that certain users are being logged out after just a few minutes. We've eliminated the timer as a cause and believe what's happening is the HttpContext.Current is null, so the user is logged out. We do not know why the HttpContext.Current is null, and I understand there are many reasons that may occur. What I'm trying to figure out is, is there any way to re-establish the context once it is null? If not, is there anything I can do at this point other than have the user login again? We're also trying to figure out a better way of managing user information (preferences, roles, flags, history, etc), but everything needs context to use, right? Cookies, sessions, cache, etc. all require a response or request, correct? hope this makes sense, because I really need help with this. I've searched the forums here, and found many posts about HttpContext.Current going null, but not a lot of solutions for this...
View 14 Repliesl am facing a problem with session.
If many users access the site, the session gets crashed and data which i store to access across pages is getting lost.

i'm using this to save a cookie when users marks the remember me box but its not working.
