I have a web application where I would like to pull user settings from a database and store them for Global access. Would it make more sense to store the data in a Singleton, or a Session object? What's the difference between the two?Is it better to store the data as an object reference or break it up into value type objects (ints and strings)?

I have a class which fetches the data from the database. Say First name, Last name , Telephone number etc and display it in my .aspx page. This data is common to all the users. So i would like to use Singleton pattern so that the object is not created again ,just use the created object for all the users. Can any one help me with the simple code snippet example.
View 3 Repliesi'm building a web application with asp.net c# and i have a class that i want to use in multiple pages witouth instantiate it every time. I need to load the data in it and never lose them during the user session time. I thought about the singleton-pattern but it shared the instance of the class beetween browsers.

View 3 RepliesI'm developing a blog application shared by non-profit organizations. I want each organization to be able to change their own blog settings. I have taken a singleton pattern (from BlogEngine.net) and modified it. (I understand that it is no longer a singleton pattern.) I have tested this approach and it seems to work fine in a development environment. Is this pattern a good practice? Are there issues, which may arise when this is placed in a production environment?
public class UserBlogSettings
{
private UserBlogSettings()
{
Load();
}
public static UserBlogSettings Instance
{
get
{
string cacheKey = "UserBlogSettings-" + HttpContext.Current.Session["userOrgName"].ToString();
object cacheItem = HttpRuntime.Cache[cacheKey] as UserBlogSettings;
if (cacheItem == null)
{
cacheItem = new UserBlogSettings();
HttpRuntime.Cache.Insert(cacheKey, cacheItem, null, DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(1),
Cache.NoSlidingExpiration);
}
return (UserBlogSettings) cacheItem;
}
}
}

I have a whole bunch of data access methods where in each one I am doing this
[Code]....
and them moving on with my SqlCommand and SqlDataReader and so on.Is this creating to many instances of an SQLConnection?I was thinking doing this instead. Creating a SqlConnection Manager which would look like this
[Code]....
and then in my database access methods
[Code]....
Is this a good or bad idea and why?Also would this even be neccesary?
I know what Singleton Pattern means and Abstract class means.What I wanted to know was how would this apply to real world.Could anyone give me any good example or simple explanation.Say I have a simple website, why would I use any of the above if any.Why would it simplify my architechture.

View 2 Replieswant to make sure I am not assuming something foolish here, when implementing the singleton pattern in an ASP .Net web application the static variable scope is only for the current user session, right? If a second user is accessing the site it is a different memory scope...?
View 4 RepliesIn one of the interview, I was asked why should we have to go for Single Design pattern, instead of just creating static methods. Because creating static methods also serve the same purpose, i.;e avoiding flooding of objects.
View 1 RepliesI have an web application written in ASP.NET (FW 3.5) (along with some VBScript, this is a legacy app) that uses a utility class in the backend that logs error. I need to log several values that a user has entered in the front-end. Since the utility class has no access to the front end (or any HTTP services), i created a singleton class within the utility namespace that my front end UI can access and store information about the user.
I guess more specifically, I am wondering if there's a way to store session variables that can be shared across the web application and web services through a class referenced by both of the application and web services. For example, I have an error handling class that is used by both instances that required information about the user. Is there a way to create a per-session singleton to hold that information, so that my error class will have access to the user info? or is this not possible - that i'll need to pass the information around as they are needed?
which one is better in "Session Facade Class" and "Singleton Object" design patterns in ASP.Net? Also, please state the scenarions where specific design pattern is advisable to use.
View 1 RepliesI'm looking to build an ajax page; it's a reporting page. By default, load today's report. On the page there's a calendar control and when the user clicks on a date, reload the gridview with the corresponding data. Is it considered good practice to do the following:
1) on the first page load, query the data for the page
2) put the query result in the session object and display it in a gridview
3) if the user requests new data, get new data from the query with different parameters
4) put the result of the second query in the session object and display it
5) if the user then requests the data from the first query, get it from the session object
6) do the sorting and paging with the data held in the session.
Note: the data of each query will contain about 300-500 rows and about 15 columns. I'd like to do all this with ajax calls. What are some suggestions and pitfalls to avoid.

View 3 RepliesWe have an ASP.NET MVC site that uses Entity Framework abstractions with Repository and UnitOfWork patterns. What I'm wondering is how others have implemented navigation of complex object graphs with these patterns. Let me give an example from one of our controllers:
[code]....
It's a registration process and pretty much everything hangs off the POCO class Person. In this case we're caching the person through the registration process. I've now started implementing the latter part of the registration process which requires access to data deeper in the object graph. Specifically DPA data which hangs off Legal inside Country.
The code above is just mapping out the model information into a simpler format for the ViewModel. My question is do you consider this fairly deep navigation of the graph good practice or would you abstract out the retrieval of the objects further down the graph into repositories?
Does anyone have a working pattern for converting a GET-POST-GET pattern to asny?
I'm encountering the following issues:
1. You cannot mix Sync and Async action methods SubmitForm(), SubmitFormAsync(bool? confirm), SubmitFormCompleted() ... (because the resolver gets all confused ... it doesn't use the HTTP verb to decide who to target. BTW: I think that's poor design, or a bug)
2. Renaming the get method name to something else eg: SubmitFormConfirmation(), SubmitFormAsync(bool? confirm), SubmitFormCompleted() would be very awkward if it works ... because you have to doctor the <form markup to specify an action name.
3. You cannot give them all async names SubmitFormAsync(), SubmitFormAsync(bool? confirm), submitFormCompleted(), because the call just keeps malfunctioning. It sometime even behaves as if you are requesting a delete of something.
Can someone give an insight from an actually working sample.
Now that the next version of ASP.NET MVC is being prototyped and previewed (ASP.NET MVC 3 Preview 1 came out a couple of weeks ago), I wonder if we should call the attention of the Core Dev team (S Hanselman, Phil Haack and all) to this "feature."there a easy/non tacky way of associating subdomains → areas?Something like:

I have a lot of Singleton implementation in asp.net application and want to move my application to IIS Web Garden environment for some performance reasons.
CMIIW, moving to IIS Web Garden with n worker process, there will be one singleton object created in each worker process, which make it not a single object anymore because n > 1.
can I make all those singleton objects, singleton again in IIS Web Garden?
I am creating a singleton object in the first request to the web service and keeping it in the memory. This works fine for first few seconds. If I make a request 5 minutes later, I can see that the singleton object is created again? is my singleton object getting disposed after x no of minutes? how can i make increase the life-time of my object forever ?

Quick question regarding the use of Singleton lifestyle in Windsor, and Asp.Net MVC. If the following class is registered as a singleton am I correct in thinking that I will have a race condition?

I have set the instanceContextMode to single to create a singleton class.I use the join to add a user to the list, and getuserlist() to retrieve the users. I added a service reference opened two browsers , made sure i simulated it such that i am adding two seperate users , and display the users returned by getuserlist. But its always displaying only one user , the current user. I also have a counter
private static int counter = 1
public int returnCounter()
{
return counter++;
}
This is returning incremented values when i open it in different browsers , but the list is always getting overritten. I am running this as a managed windows service, wsHttpBinding , and my client is a website accessing this service.
[ServiceBehavior(InstanceContextMode = InstanceContextMode.Single, ConcurrencyMode = ConcurrencyMode.Multiple)]
