Does IIS allow a new version of dll to be dropped in an already running website? Does it say the DLL is being used? What will happen if we drop a new version of web.config? Is the outcome, a recycling of the application pool?

View 1 RepliesI have a webpage which updates user information onto to the database, whenever they click the save buttonsince am using session variables in my page, data in the session variables is getting lost after 20mins if the session is idle, in order to keep the session alive am using the refresh option for every 5mins, after that the session variables are not lostNow my problem is whenever the page refreshes the user is losing all the data which is not saved, by means while the user is working on the page during the refresh all the textbox values are lostAny one has any solution for this? , can we extend the session variable timeout ?i tried this changed the session timeout to 60min in web.config as well, but still the session variable values are not persisting
View 5 RepliesI have a Session object
Session["MyListObjects"] = null;
When a user hits a button I want to creat a List<string> object and add to session object.
Let's say if user hits the button 10 times, I would get 10 List<string> objects and
add to Session["MyListObjects"] and
Finally I want to read all the List<string> objects from the session object.
I have overridden the following methods:
LoadPageStateFromPersistenceMedium()
SavePageStateToPersistenceMedium(object viewState)
in a class that my page derives from, so that the viewstate can be stored in DB.
Now, on page_load of my page, I am checking what control caused a postback & based on that I am forcing execution of 2 button click events in a row (by overloading those click events & calling them explicitely), but the behaviour I want is as if the execution of those 2 button click events went through the regular page life cycle.
Here is the sequence of events that happen in typical page life cycle & notice I want to alter behaviour at step 4 (on load):
1) Initialization
2) LoadViewStateData (here the viewstate is loaded from my database using the overridden LoadPageStateFromPersistenceMedium)
3) LoadPostBackData
4) Load
Here, I would like to force execution of 2 button_click events based on whether a particular control posted back.
4.1) imgBtnPrev5_Click()
4.2) imgBtnPrev4_Click()
Now, when the imgBtnPrev5_Click() is executed, the viewstate is already loaded, so we are fine. But after execution of imgBtnPrev5_Click(), I would like to update the viewstate object in memory & then call the overridden SavePageStateToPersistenceMedium (by passing that updated viewstate object as its parameter) and then before execution of imgBtnPrev4_Click(), I would like to call the overridden LoadPageStateFromPersistenceMedium.
5) RaisePostBackEvent
6) SaveViewState
7) Render
My question is, how do I update the "viewstate" object of the page - that is passed to SavePageStateToPersistenceMedium with the changes made to the controls in imgBtnPrev5_Click()?
Can someone show me what I need to do to allow cookies:
I have this code after I "authenticate" the user (my own Login Control, & code to authenticate).
If the user checks the "Remember Me" checkbox I am trying to set a cookie with this:
// add 1 month
DateTime expireDate = currentDate.AddMonths(1);
// set the cookie
HttpCookie cookie = new
HttpCookie("LithoUserName");
cookie.Value = customer.UserName;
cookie.Expires = expireDate;
cookie.Domain = "lithoman.com";
Response.Cookies.Add(cookie);
When I go to retrieve the cookie the value is not there. It worked once, then I closed the browser and it disappeared (the cookie was no longer there).I went to GMail & there cookie worked so I am pretty sure the problem is my web.config, but most of the examples for Forms Authentication want you to "authenticate" with Forms Authentication, all I need is for cookies to work. I was able to do this real easy 12 years ago in Class Asp using Visual Interdev, & thought that product sucked compared to Visual Studio 2008 today, but if progress makes a cookie not work then something is wrong. This is not a bank site, or a matter of a life or death, it is just a time saver to sign someone in.
cookies are generated from the client scripting.e.g. document.cookie = city=NYC;
I want to update this from GUI using
Response.cookies["city"] = LA;
I could not understand why this is not possible.( I read about Httponly and all that stuff but still not clear).If I use Javascript in code behind page then I am able to change the value.e.g.
Literal ltMsgUpdate = new Literal();
ltMsgUpdate.Text = "<script type='text/javascript'>document.cookie = 'city=LA';" + "</script>";
Page.Controls.Add(ltMsgUpdate);
But I could not use this type of code because there is response.redirect statement in the function where I am updating cookie using (response.cookie) and that's why the javascript code never runs.
Bottomline: I want to update cookies in code behind page which is generated in client scripting.

View 2 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?

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.

function SendRequest(msg, isBusy, chartMsg, vesselMsg)
{
try
{
//confirm("msg"+msg+"isBusy"+isBusy+"chartMsg"+chartMsg+"VesselMsg"+vesselMsg);
_busy = isBusy;
if(chartMsg != null)
{
//confirm("chartMsg"+chartMsg);

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.

I have a clear button and a textbox in an aspx page. I set the session variable in this page as
String str = Textbox1.Text;
Session["TypeIds"] = str;
and I clear the sessions in a clear button event as
Session["TypeIds"]=null;.
Then when the user types some value in the textbox ,on Response.Redirect on another aspx page, the session variable returns null values.It does not retain its session state. The session state has to be maintained in the next page. Is it because this clear button event and setting explicitly to null creates this problem?
