Web Forms :: Save The User Name And Password In Viewstate Or Session?
Feb 5, 2010
I am designing a site with that requires users to login in to access info. How do I save the user name and password in viewstate or session. so I can use it in other pages later.
I want to save the user_email and user_password in my website Session and clear it when loggin out but i wantg to know how secure it is to store passwords?
if my website when session of user expire i get the following error.
Validation of viewstate MAC failed. If this application is hosted by a Web Farm or cluster, ensure that <machineKey> configuration specifies the same validationKey and validation algorithm. AutoGenerate cannot be used in a cluster.
URL...how we can sending formatted email now in my Login.aspx page i have Textbox that when users forget their password they should type their Username on the textbox and after that click on send button.I want when users click on send button their user name that they type in textbox be on the email that send to me .
i have deployed my website on a particular server. i have some limitations in using viewstate and session variables. those pages in which i have used ViewState variables (for storing some information), i user accesses that page and does not do any activity for 5 minutes and if after 5 minutes he does any kind of activity (click on Link or button etc) then he receives following error: "Validation of viewstate MAC failed. If this application is hosted by a Web Farm or cluster, ensure that configuration specifies the same validationKey and validation algorithm. AutoGenerate cannot be used in a cluster."
how i can avoid above error? another problem is with session. My session expires just after 2-3 minutes. What should i do for maintaining session for long time? i can not use cookies, as if user has disabled the cookies then my website will not work...

My company has some unique password policies (such as a pwd cannot be re-used for 6 months, aside from the must include #, special character, upper & lower case)Can anyone suggest how to go about ensuring that a new user's password complies with these policies (using forms authentication in .net 3.5 framework)?
I'm using the ChangePassword method of membership provider to change the password and one of the requirement before calling the ChangePassword is to retrieve the current password. But I'm getting error:
I have one AsyncFileUpload control ,one Attach button,one Listbox and Save button.
When Users browse the file and click the attach button, filename must be added to listbox. So in this way the user has the option to add upto multiple filenames to listbox. For this i have written the following code

In Attach button click event i added the filename to listbox and saved the Asyncfileupload controls in different session variable.
When user clicks on save button all files has to be saved in application folder and for this i wrote the following code.

But iam unable to save all the files . Suppose i added two AsyncFileupload controls to session variables, only last file i,e. 2nd file can only be saved and couldn't get first file.
I just begin creating a website for an organization. First page to be displayed in the login page. I dont have any knowledge in ASP.NET Security. On Login page, i want to display UserName field as disabled with the useralias of the user who currently logged into Windows. Password user has to provide and it should be that user's windows password.
How do i validate that password that user has entered is his windows password?
I have searched the web for the answer and saw that mostly variables are saved in viewstate on page.prerender event. Then the value of the variable is set back in page load event.However, when I save a variable in viewstate on prerender or load events, how can viewstate store the value of the variable after it is changed dynamically on codebehind?
Let's say, after page is loaded, user clicked a button which changes the value of the variable in its onClick event. Then the postback event raised since the button was clicked. According to me, the new value should have been lost and cannot be saved in the viewstate if the variable is saved in the viewstate only in prerender event. Because on postback the prerender event wont fire and the value cannot be saved.
Shouldn't I save the variable in the viewstate just before the postback event rises?? If so, how can viewstate store the new value of the variable if the viewstate is saved in prerender event?
At my user-control I populate listbox with collection and want save data in viewstatecontrolstate for further autopostback using.
protected void btFind_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { var accounts = new AccountWrapper[2]; accounts[0] = new AccountWrapper { Id = 1, Name = "1" }; [code]...
ListBox is populated at button click. When I save accounts to ViewState listBox is empty, when not it displays collection good.
i bind a DataTable to a gridview.i want to use the DataTable in some postback event, and ii want to use viewstate. does gridview save data in viewstate? if no what is the best way to do this.
(full story :i have a custom gridview derived from standard asp.net gridview, and i put a button in header to export data to excel, i want to use data saved in viewstate to export to excel)
I am looking for an event firing before a DropdownList auto-postback to save Listbox items (populated with JS) in the ViewState.I tried the OnSelectedIndexChanged event but it's fired too late.
I have a composite control that has a couple of private fields that reference values in the cache and these private fields are called during the constructor method. Since a string key is used to identify the value in the cache, I must have a way of storing that string key in such a way that it is available at the time the control is instantiated, and I have to be able to reference it on postbacks without it changing.
In addition, this key is generated the first time the control is loaded, but it should not be changed again after that first time.
How can I accomplish this?
I have already tried saving it to viewstate, but that doesn't work because viewstate is not yet available at the time the control is instantiated.
I have tried using a private field and then checking against Page.IsPostback in the constructor and if it isn't postback, I assign a value to the private field, but on subsequent postbacks it looses it's value, and I can't reassign it in the Page.IsPostBack again because it is an autogenerated GUID.
