Web Forms :: Prevent Multiple Browser Windows Or Tabs From Sharing Same Session

View 1 RepliesPreventing user to open duplicate web application,while it is running .....
View 1 RepliesI have ASP.net application that is basically a data entry screen for a physical inspection process. The users want to be able to have multiple browser windows open and enter data from multiple inspections concurrently. At first I was using cookie based sessions, and obviously this blew up.I switched to using cookie-less sessions, which stores the session in the URL and in testing this seemed to resolve the problem. Each browser window/tab had a different session ID, and data entered in one did not clobber data entered in the other.
However my users are more efficient at breaking things than I expected and it seems that they're still managing to get the same session between browsers sometimes. I think that they're copying/pasting the address from one tab to the other in order to open the application, but I haven't been able to verify this yet (they're at another location so I can't easily ask them).Other than telling them don't copy and paste, or convince them to only enter one at a time, how can I prevent this situation from occurring?
I have a page where I display ASP.NET charts. There are two types of charts and I felt the need to separate them to some extent which I did by using a submenu which looks like this:
Charts > Goals Charts
> Reconciliation Charts
Clicking on either of the two chart links will take you to the same Charts.aspx page, but with the query string "Goals" or "Reconciliation" respectively. On the page load of the Charts.aspx page, I receive the query string into a session variable and create the correct charts based on that value. All of this works fine.
The problem I'm experiencing occurs when I open up a new tab in IE/Firefox. Here is the series of events I'm experiencing:
- In the original tab, I will click on the "Goals Charts" hyperlink which loads the Charts.aspx page with "Goals" as the charts type session value. The other controls on the page needed to produce "Goals" charts (eg. drop down lists, etc) are displayed correctly ie. the "Goals" version. At this point, I haven't done anything in this tab except for loading the Charts.aspx page from the "Goals Charts" link.
- In the original tab, I right click the "Reconciliation Charts" link and opt to open in a new tab (I just tested and the same thing appears to be working if you opt to open in a new window as well). When the new tab loads the Charts.aspx page, it loads with the query string "Reconciliation" which it stores in the session variable. So at this point I would expect to have two different, independent tabs: the original tab on the "Goals Charts" track and the second tab on the "Reconciliation Charts" track.
- This is where the problem occurs. I would expect the original tab/window to create a "Goals" chart when I make a selection using the other controls and I would expect the second tab/window to create a "Reconciliation" chart. The problem, however, is that when I go back to the original tab/window - the one which should be a "Goals" chart and which should have "Goals" stored in the session value - when I proceed to create a chart, it's a Reconciliation chart that is created.
Somehow, even though I'm in a different tab or window and I am navigating the site seemingly independently of the other tab/window, it seems to be carrying the most recently populated value from the session variable for both tabs/windows.
How to prevent multiple browser windows opening in asp.net ...

View 6 RepliesHow to get unique session id that generated same for all browser tabs and different and always unique when we close and open new browser in asp.net code.
View 2 RepliesI have been spending a better part of a week trying to track down why I am not able to clear all session variables in a web app (vs 2010, vb.net). What I have tracked it down to is that when I remove or abandon sessions that my html pages or codebehind access, it works, but for some reason in any of my class files where I use "Public Shared strConnection as String = HttpContext.Current.Session("strConnection").ToString" to access a session variable, it finds the old one and not the current one. I have to wait for it to time out, go in again, and it will find the new one.
I do not use Linq, and there is only one place in the whole web app that I place the connection string in a variable whcih is when a person logs in. It points them to the correct database. The sqlconnection is set for all of my listviews in Page_Init to make sure that they aren't using any session variable that they create on their own. Interestingly enough that if I use debug to go in each time, exit debug, enter debug again trying to access a different database, it works correct each time. I assume that debug is correctly killing the session variable for the classes for me.
I am a bit confused on how ASP.NET session works with my site, when a user opens up the site in multiple browsers, and/or multiple tabs. I see that after logging in with IE, i can open a new tab and not have to log in, and that if I log out of one tab, the other one will redirect to login after I try to do something. I also notice that if I log in with IE, i still have to log in with FF. My question - are session data shared between all of these sessions?
View 3 RepliesSo its a ASP.NET problem where two users using the same machine, same browser:
User 1 logs in the domain.
User 1 changes some data without saving it.
User 2 logs in the domain in a separate tab.
User 1 switches back to his tab and saves the data.
User 1 actually saved the data into User 2!!
This is caused by the following mechanism:
Different tabs in the same browser seems to share the same session id.
We are storing user auth in cookie and the cookie is shared between tabs (same domain)
Therefore, when User 1 request to save, it is recognized as User 2 since the cookie has been updated to User 2.
So I'm wondering if there's any other methods to prevent this from happening, other than:
1. Use cookieless session so the session is embedded in uri.
2. Always include a hidden field in page to indicate which user owns the page.
I managed to user to perform multiple log on from other IE window session in my web application if the same log on is currently being used.Unfortunately I have problem to control multiple log on if the user is logging in using tab browsing in the same session. I know this is due to the same session Id but is there any way to trace down to the tab level within the same session?
View 2 RepliesI am implementing jquery tabs with partial views in my project.I just tried the implemention mention in this link [URL]My tabs are working very fine.. my question is how can i send the model in that viewto partial view..i think we can do it by this syntax @Html.RenderPartial("Name",ObjectModel);In the above link Kevin created the tabs with only anchor tags... it will pick the partial view and how can i send the model to that partial view....
View 3 RepliesI'm storing some value in an asp.net session on the first page. On the next page, this session value is being read. However if multiple tabs are opened and there are multiple page 1->page 2 navigation going on, the value stored in session gets mixed up since the session is shared between the browser tabs.I'm wondering what are the options around this :Query String: Passing value between the pages using query string, I don't want to take this approach since there can be multiple anchor tags on page 1 linking to page 2 and I can not rewrite the URLs of each tag since they are dynamic.Cookies??? In-memory cookies are shared across browser tabs too, same as the session cookie, rite ?
View 5 RepliesI am sorry if this is been discussed earlier. I am having a problem maintaining the session when someone uses the same browser with multiple tab, the results gets messed up. A perfect example would be, [URL] if you open IE (or any other browser) and open two tabs and search for two different air travel itinerary and the results will completely overlapped (real mess). I know the cause for this problem (both tabs uses the same session). I would appreciate if somebody have any solution for this. I am using ASP.NET 3.5/VS 2008/VB.NETI will not be able to use Viewstate since I use a master page and pre-init event where view state is not available.

I tried to save record on tab #1, facing the problem of session gets over written.I had to check some vaules on OnInit and OnInitComplete event. But I get here wrong values in session.

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.

View 7 RepliesI'm building an application where custom modules may be developed and "dropped in" to the system, where they can be picked up and utilized.
I'm building a forum module and have a user control to create a login/registration region. I plan on using a struct to store the user session data. However, i need this class structure to be shared between the forum module and the login/registration control.
Because the functionality is to be contained in the module's folder, i cant add any assemblies to the app_code folder.
How can i share a class or struct among two user controls?
I'd like to stop IE8 from sharing my sessions in one of two ways (or both if possible):
Through configuring the browser to always do this (so I can force my users to configure their browsers in this way). Through code in my web application.
i have issue with browser close prompt;
"the webpage you are viewing is trying to close the window"
in ie6 i prevent this by using coding
self.opener = this;
self.close();
in ie7 and ie8 i prevent this by using coding
window.open('', '_self', '');
window.close();
but, problem is which code will prevent for all brower(ie6,7,8) asking the message.
