I need to persist data between pages.I tried using session but the value is not saving.
Should using cookies be a better option? If so give a small example of transfreing and saving data between pages.
I've a code to persist information in cookies about users like UserName and password.
Question is:
Its not secure to store information like that plain text in cookies.My DB store hashed passwords,so i could save those hashs in cookies and retrieve them later,but if i do that i wouldnt be able to fill password's textbox cause the hash string would be too long for it.
I've been trying to add a little Remember Me in my login page and been suffering 2 days with this cookie problem.This is how I set the cookie:
HttpCookie coo = new HttpCookie("test");
If I have a 2 control load events and one page load event subs and the control1_Load events fires first, can I lookup some database things and persist them? I would like to use the persisted data in the other two events when they fire. Normally I've been using session variables , is there a better way?
View 3 RepliesI'm implementing IHttpHandler and IRequiresSessionState and I'm using context.Session but after I set up a value in Session, it's lost in the next request. What can I do to persist the values ?
$.ajax({
url: "/test.test",
type: "POST",
data: "{'type':'GetStep'}",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
success: function (result) {...}
});
The second call is similar to this, but the values that get set when I call this function are also lost on the next request.
public void ProcessRequest (HttpContext context)
{
context.Session ["Game"] = new Game (); // next time it is null
}
How do I persist values in Session state in ASP.NET ?
I'm working on adding a new webapp to an existing website. I've been directed to write the webapp in ASP.NET. The existing website is written in ColdFusion. For the most part, the ASP.NET webapp is completely stand-alone, but it needs to interact with the ColdFusion code in one important way - if somebody logs in to the ColdFusion site, we don't want them to have to log in again when visiting an ASP.NET page.
When someone logs in to the ColdFusion site, their username is stored in a cookie, along with a login token that can be looked up in our database. My .NET is a little rusty, so I'm having trouble visualizing how the ASP.NET code should use this data. I've already written a simple MembershipProvider that can be used to log in/out out the ASP.NET app using the data in our existing database tables, which are shared with the ColdFusion code.
What I'd like to know is - how can I make sure the ASP.NET app detects the cookies set by the ColdFusion app (I imagine they'd be sent to the ASP.NET pages, since everything is hosted on one domain), and automatically logs the user in using the MembershipProvider and Forms Authentication, using the credentials supplied in the cookie? I'm thinking that putting some kind of cookie check and log in function in the Global.asax file, set to run every page load for every page... but that seems kind of clunky. Also, do people still use the Global.asax file anyway? I had thought there was a more modern method.... Also, how can I manually log someone in using Forms Authentication and a custom membership provider? Currently my code allows the user to log in using the provided login control, but I'm not sure how to log the user in without them having to do anything.Looking over the MembershipProvider tutorials and the MSDN documentation it seems to me like the answer should be staring me in the face, but for some reason I just can't see it. Maybe not enough coffee....
I ve been searching for this on various forums and came through a number of supposed solutions which didnt work for me.
My web form works perfectly for me when on development and after publishing on IIS but when I try to access remotely the session value is always null.
I do these things in the following order and when accessing remotely I always get the exception i throw when session is null.
I debugged it and my list is never null when reaching the assignment point.
[code]....
in webconfig I have the following tag which I saw as an answer in many forums
<sessionState mode="InProc" cookieless="true" timeout="200" />
Just wondering whether or not Session Variables that are declared and set while in a HTTP session will continue to exist if the users session moves to HTTPS?
View 4 RepliesI want to use session object in my web app.I want to store some cookies too(Some custom informations) .How can i use both without the URL not being modified like [URL]
In my ASP.NET page,I am setting some session variable
Session["customerId"]="Some name";
Then i am trying to set some value in cookie
[code]....
In this page now i can access the sesion variable values,But when i m being Redirected to another asp.net page, I am not getting my session values there.Its seems like Its being lossed.
I have two application (one of this is mojo portal): [URL] for some users when they login into "app" then the login in "mojo" doesn't work and viceversa. I've set the machinekey into web.config file. When the users remove all cookies and session data the login works again. The two application are into a Web Farm. Should be ARR the problem?
View 2 RepliesHow to make session to not to use cookies
View 4 RepliesAm trying to design login page for my website and I am looking for methods other than forms authentication. The way in which I am trying is to have a table in the database that stores user information and check for the user validity.
The point where I get struck is how do i set cookies and session variables and how will I carry it through out the system. Can anyone tell/suggest me where I can relevant material so as to move forward. And also is my idea of negating traditional forms authentication and going for a model I described, is it good also does any other better method exist?
How can we make session, not use cookies ?
View 1 RepliesSince session and cookies are both used to store temporary data, what is the difference between them?
View 9 Repliesmy main concern is using Session. I've always been under the impression that if you use the following statements (not that I would):
Session["newVar1"] = "a new session variable";
Session["newVar2"] = "a new session variable";
Session["newVar3"] = aLargeVariableThatHoldsLotsOfData;
You would be creating 3 new session cookies that hold the particular value. But I think my asp book is indicating that you would actually create 3 new variables in your session state object and ASP would only pass a unique Session ID (as a cookie?) in the response, and would get this ID upon the next request and associate that ID with your Session State Object (that IIS has stored in memory..?):
[code]....
That doesn't seem ideal for a website with lots of traffic. A server that is storing and maintaining thousands and thousands of instances of session state per website seems like way too much overload.
I'm trying to see what's going on on my own, but I'm having trouble.. I can't find my site's cookies anywhere on my machine (IE/windows xp). I've checked C:Documents and Settings icholasrCookies and C:Documents and Settings icholasrLocal SettingsTemporary Internet Files which, according to this yahoo answer, IE cookies are stored as well. I'm using ticket authentication in my app which stores a auth cookie on the client, so a cookie from my site has to be somewhere..
So, I am working on a demo web dashboard. Previously, I had been using Session to store settings about the dashboard, but I would like to move it to a more persistent means of saving settings.It seems to me that using cookies would be my best bet. I'm not entirely positive I have the time to work everything out for writing to/from a database properly.That being said, I might be in over my head on some assumptions I had made about the similarities between Session and Cookies. Currently, I have some code like this:
public Dictionary<string, RadPageViewSetting> PageViewStates
{
get
[code]...
Do session use cookies? If so,how do they do so?
Assume Session["UserId"]=1 how does this session variable uses cookies internally? If so, what will be the name of the cookie and what is the value of that cookie....
i have 3 pages, lets say pageA, pageB and pageC.
1 . From "pageB", i'm sending some data to "pageA" and and retriving the result with using HTTPWebRequest and HTTPWebResponse classes. I have no problem with this
2. pageA fills some session data, like Session["CustomerInfo"] .
3. After retrving some data from "pageA", I'm redirecting from "pageB" to "pageC".
At PageC, i want to use session variables which i fill at "pageA":
At pageB, i get the CookieContainer of the HTTPWebRequest object and it retrives correct SessionId.
And here is the code that redirects pageB to pageC:
Response.Cookies.Clear();
Request.Cookies.Clear();
foreach (Cookie cookie in SessionCookieContainer.GetCookies(new Uri(http://localhost/bla/bla)))
{
Response.Cookies.Add(new HttpCookie(cookie.Name, cookie.Value));
Request.Cookies.Add(new HttpCookie(cookie.Name, cookie.Value));
}
//Response.Redirect("../Default.aspx");
Server.Transfer("../Default.aspx",true);
At pageC , Request.Cookies and Response.Cookies are set truly, as i sent them from pageB, but there is nothing in the session. Session.Count is zero. And SessionId is different from the value which is stored in cookies.
I am using session sate with SQLServer mode in asp.net MVC2.I want to disable cookies.I tried Cookieless="UseUri" but It adds session token to URL So It fails in MVC.
View 14 RepliesI am using session to strore code
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(Request.QueryString["c"]))
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Session["Code"] = Request.QueryString["c"];
else
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Session["Code"] = "GR";
Instead of session,now I want to use cookies.
i am having this weird problem only when i deploy my site [localy Everything works fine] when you try loging in from IE 8, the page simple refreshes! and no authentication takes place After lot of research, i found out that Internet Explorer 8 denies session cookies and to confirm this, i unchecked Enable protected mode (can be found in, internet options, security), and then tried logging in, it worked perfectly fine just like it did in other browsers [Firefox and google chrome]. I have found one solution which is to lower the security level, but i cant tell every visitor on my site to do that since its not practical.
View 1 RepliesIt has been a while since I've built an entire ASP.NET web application from the ground up but I'm about to jump in again. I've built many individual pages, controls, web parts, etc. recently, but nothting 'soup to nuts' for a couple of years. My question is in regards to login security control. I do not want to use the built in ASP.NET Memberhip functionality for various reasons and already have custom code that authenticates the user, controls passwords, login attempts, etc. I am really concerned though about how to validate that the user is logged in (and the best way to do it). For instance, right now I use a Base page that all of my .aspx pages inherit from. In the OnInit() method, it executes code which includes:
[Code]....
I set the Session["LoggedIn"] object to "true" after the user has successfully been authenticated at the Login.aspx page. So, when a user attempts to access any page in the application, if that Session object isn't true, they will be redirected (you can't visit any page without being logged in). This all works great, but I'm thinking I need something more and that brings me here. First, do I need more? Is this enough? I was thinking about creating a cookie with a GUID value and the SessionID (both encrypted perhaps?) and adding that to my Base page so it checks both the current Session["LoggedIn"] value
and the values in the cookie.
I am trying to get the inPlace editing functionality. But this time its in Master page of an ASP.net application. I have a label control (for title of each web page) on master page. And in my content page I want to allow user to edit that title. Scenario is that Label should be converted to textbox when user click label. edit and then when textbox will loose focus, it should be converted to updated label. I don't want to change my master page contents. Otherwise may be I can add a hidden textbox on masterpage to replace it with label. But my concern is that Can I do this without editing my master page? I tried to work with JQuery .replaceWith() method. But I am new to JQuery and asp.net. I tried stephen's solution but getting object not supported Javascript runtime error. JS Code is given as :
<script type="text/javascript" src="../Scripts/jquery-1.4.2.min.js" ></script>

I am using "cookies" to maintain session in my asp.net azure application.
What I want is that when a user logs in to my website and remains idle for 15 minutes it should automatically log them out and redirect them to the login page.
How can I achieve this?
I have 4 webpages. In those pages, i am using session variables,viewstates,cookies. I am passing session variables,viewstates to different pages. Now the problem is sometimes i am getting the old cookie values or session values. I want to clear all these things when i close the browser or if i open a new tab of browser.
