Web Forms :: Show Countdown Based On Session / Cookie?
Jun 14, 2010
I need to write asp.net funtion to display countdown timer to user when they log on to the site.
And I need to log them off once the session/cookie expires. Bigger problem for me is I need to pass the timer even when they browser through site, keeping count down timer alive and log them off after it expiers.
I need to show how to show countdownwhen the user session expire? if users session expire means i need to redirct user to login page.. How can i achieve this?
I write a countdown timer in jQuery and i need to keep some datas in a session when countdown ends. Datas have to be sent to server to update. How can i handle this situation. I am new in jQuery and asp.net so could you explain this briefly
How to open a popup image on page load in asp.net ? and can its possible that when i close the popup it should not open whan the session value is not end.
I want to show countdown time in the status bar of browser like: You session will timeout in 40:00 minutes. You session will timeout in 39:99 minutes. I mean it should countdown to 0 and popup a window if user click Popup's Ok button then it should show a redirected page. No ajax support required. I want manually coding therefore I am not allowed to write anything in web.config also.
Actually I have a datalist in which I am binding product name and product description and there is a hyperlink.
I am binding datalist in page load and checking that user is login or not using session.
if user is login then hyperlink text should be view more
else
hyperlink text should be login to view
The code I have written is working fine but when user is logged in then Only one products hyperlink text changing. I want change it to all hyperlink text to view more when user login
I need to make my asp.net session cookie as secure but whenever i check user authentication and after that i am trying to set cookie to true then my session lost my user information and so it always redirect login page. I am settings user to HttpContext.Current.Session["user"] and check every time, is user is valid and if valid then move ahead. but before that i make my asp.net session cookie as true.
[Code]....
but after that i observe that somehow "Session_Start" event gets called.
Is it possible to use mixed cookieless sessions with cookie sessions? I've an application that captured user details and then redirect for payment to an ssl page. I was wondering if this is possible? [URL] redirects to [URL] Note: the session Id in the latter url. So in essence, we use the standard cookie session for the majority of the application but when we transfer to an ssl page we pass the SessionId to the https url to pick up the session. I've tried this locally but it starts a new session.
I am trying to retrieve SessionItemShory column for given sessionid.The data stored is serialized so we need to deserialize the data to use it.I am trying to do that but its not working.
[Serializable] public class sessiondata { public string username { get; set; } public string country { get; set; } public string city { get; set; }
I want the code for showing popup dialog box , to show the time remaining for session closing because of in-activity. and 2 buttons for allowing to stay or to signout.
i want all the settings that are need to achieve the functionality.
I want some efficient way that how can i display a message to user that he is about to logout after 1 minute if user is idle and doing nothing on the page for 1 mintue.
on message if user want stay online so he must click keep me online or say logout.
I want to allow admins to be logged in for longer than normal users. I don't see a hook for setting the cookie timeout programmatically or in a role-based way. Is this possible in ASP using Forms Authentication?
Which gave me a compile error so i dont know if the user checked his code before posting. And the other was to set the expire date to 1 day ago which my gut says is wrong. How do i do this?
I say until you log out, session times out or you close the browser. But am I right?
I had an interview today and the interviewer wanted to know if I log into a page and closes the browser (without logging off), what happens to the session.
I said that the session will be orphaned. He says no - because their users are able to connect back to the session by just opening up the browser (using a cookie only). I told him that's a persistent cookie - not a session cookie. And I said that if that's the cause, there is nothing preventing the user from exporting the [persistent] cookie to a another computer and starting the session on that computer.
At first he said you can;t export a cookie but when I explained how, he said that he'll look but since many many people including 2 architects came up with the design, it is unlikely they are all wrong.
The default cookie name for the Session Id in ASP.NET is ASP.NET_SessionId. It's also possible to change this name to something else like <sessionState cookieName="FooBar" />.
Is there a member to easily access this name like with FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName?
In web development, when session state is enabled, a session id is stored in cookie(in cookieless mode, query string will be used instead). In asp.net, the session id is encrypted automatically. There are plenty of topics on the internet regarding how you should encrypt your cookie, including session id. I can understand why you want to encrypt private info such as DOB, but any private info should not be stored in cookie at first place. So for other cookie values such as session id, what is the purpose encryption? Does it add security at all? no matter how you secure it, it will be sent back to server for decryption.
Be be more specific, For authentication purpose, turn off session, i don't want to deal with session time out any more store some sort of id value in the cookie, on the server side, check if the id value exists and matches, if it is, authenticate user. let the cookie value expire when browser session is ended, this way. vs Asp.net form authentication mechanism (it relies on session or session id, i think) does latter one offer better security?
We have a local homepage, which connect to our production security environment. When I need to test my site in test environment, I need to get fresh cookie (not the one that was sent to me via production security service, when I opened IE with local homepage).
I am getting fresh cookie fine in Mozilla; but in IE I always have production cookie, and this disables my testing. What I should fix here?
I usually like to do it the hard way,just to get a feel of what you can do!In ASP.net there is probably a really simple way Forms authentication etc.but this is what I have.I know from previous experience that you should never save a Cookie that contains a password,so how to connect a session to a cookie when the user accesses the website,with saved cookies information.
I though about using a Guid,in the cookie,and then check the database to see if that guid is available,but this could be a sort of password like effect.
Is it possible to get session cookie name in medium trust level? The code below works in full trust, but throws a security exception in medium trust level.
I'm using ASP.NET Session State to keep track of logged in users on my site. However, one problem I'm running into is that by default ASP.NET session cookies are set to expire when the browser closes. I've tried setting my own ASP.NET_SessionId cookie and modifying the cookie's expiry using something similar to the following code:
I would like to change ASP.NET session cookie name "ASP.NET_Sessionid" to some other name. I specified <sessionState cookieName="MyCookieName" />. When I use fiddler to view response header, I can see "MyCookieName" with random generated number under cookie section, however, ASP.NET_SessionId also exist there.
