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?
We have the timeout value set to 120 in our <form> tag within the web.config. We do not have a session timeout set.. and we have various connection strings.
We are having a problem where a session variable will disappear (become NULL) .. but, the form evidently remains 'open'.. or no re-login is required..... so, my question(s):
1. what is the relationship between form timeout and session timeout
I am busy building a shopping cart with cookies. I have datalist which I populate from the cookies with a delete button next to each cookie
[Code]....
Now the problem is that when I hit the delete / remove button to expire the cookie, what happens when repopulating the datalist is that it shows the original cookie with all it's values as well as a new entry where all the values are blank.
I want to change the value in a cookie: HttpCookie hc = new HttpCookie("HiddenColumns"); hc.Value = customView.HiddenFields; hc.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(365); Response.SetCookie(hc);
I am having a problem with my ASP.Net Web application. The application is developed using vb.net and is linked to a SQL Server database. Let me explain how the application works and the problem I am experiencing. The system is an online web app which allows registered users to create a CV online. One of the pages within the app gives users the chance to add a cover note to their CV. The page that allows them to do this consists of only a textarea control and a button control. The textarea allows users to input up to 4,000 characters.
Once the user clicks the 'Save' button to save their cover note info, the following code then executes.This code checks to see if the CV already has cover note info, if it does, then the application runs an update statement, otherwise, it runs an insert statement.The table within the database which records the cover note information is called tbl_covernote and has three columns, covernote_id (int and autoincrement), cv_id(int), covernote_text (nvarchar(max)).
The error which occurs sometimes is as follows:
Dim dr As SqlDataReader Dim param(0) As SqlParameter Finally [code]...
I'm trying to use a webservice that first expects the clients to login, to retrieve a cookie to re-use. This is done through a login(string user, string pass) method on the webservice.
Doing this through a browser works fine, we get a cookie, and we can see the cookie via Fiddler or whatvever proxysniff thingy.
Time to do the same in ASP.Net, so we use the WSDL and generate a nice proxy class, and it works fine to call the login() method, but Never Ever does a cookie get set !
I already used the "cookiejar" technique - which means i create an instance of a CookieContainer and assign it to the proxyclass like this;
I have an ASP.Net application that makes an AJAX request to retrieve at report. The report can run for a long time so I set the asyncpostbacktimeout in <asp:ScriptManager /> to 600. However, when I try to run the report, if it runs for longer than 90 seconds it fails to come back. I can see in the IIS logs that the POST request succeeded with a 200 status and I can see the time taken is much less than 600.
The web page dutifully waits for the entire 600 seconds before returning with a timeout error:
Error:
Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerTimeoutException:
The server request timed out.
Is there any setting I should be checking in IIS? Connection timeout is 900 seconds.
I have a page of each every click has ajax call to my server (hence, the ASP extends the session)
I have ASP.NET session set to Xmin. I want when X+1 min expires, I have expiration page. what I did was to set the JS timer to validate every x+1min to see if the session expired (the problem is that the JS and the ASP session timeouts are not synced)
I have an issue to where my users are logged into my system but thier session is null so when they try to do something in the system after 20 minutes, i get null reference expceptions because my session is gon What is the best practice for handleing the session, should i kick the users out before thier session ends and when they log back in thier session will return or atleast a new one will be created right? How should I handle this?
I am a bit baffled here; using IE7, ASP.NET 2.0 and Cassini (the VS built-in web server; although the same thing seems to be true for "real" applications deployed in IIS) I am looking for the session-id-cookie. My test page shows a session id (by printing out Session.SessionId) and Response.Cookies.Keys contains ASP.NET_SessionId. So far so good.
But I cannot find the cookie in IEs cookie-store! Nor does "remove all cookies" reset the session (as it does in FF)... So where - I am tempted to write that four letter word - does IE store that bloody cookie? Or am I missing something? By the way there is no hidden field with a session id either, as far as I can see. If I check in FF there is a cookie called ASP.NET_SessionId as I would expect. And as mentioned above deleting that cookie does start a new session; as I would expect.
I'm working with ASP.Net web services and am having a problem with a long-running process that takes about 5 minutes to complete, and it's timing out. To fix this, I was able to set the executionTimeout on the server's web.config to 10 minutes, and then set the .Timeout property on the Web Service object to approximately 9 minutes. Now, I'm worried that this may possibly cause some other web service calls to sit there for 10 minutes before they time out rather than the previous 90-100 seconds. I know the default on the client side is 100 seconds, but wasn't sure if updating the server's timeout setting would affect this.
Bottom line is - Is it safe to update the server's timeout setting to a long amount like 10 minutes, and rely on the default timeout on the client, or could this end up causing some problems?
I am baffled, I am using a treeview to set the source of an iframe. The web page is being displayed correctly, but User.IsInRole("roleName"), in the code behind, always returns false. The strange thing is User.Identity.Name returns the correct user name. I have tried setting the target of the tree view nodes to "_blank" and to "_self" and still no luck. So, it doesn't appear that the problem is related to the iframe.Before the treeview was added, javascript was used to set the source for the iframe and User.IsInRole returned the correct values.
Iam having a gridview with textboxes in itemtemplate. If textbox validation fails whiling clicking the submit button gets into exception and loses its rowindex values. Based on the row index value iam setting theme for gridview rows. So when i click the row it throws null value exception. I dont wanna bind grid in catch block, since i have to maintain the values user entered in the textboxes)
I have a situation where I write a cookie on one page and read it on another page, but it only works for users who are in the admin group onour web server.On my default page, I have this code in the page load event to get some user data from my database and save it for later use: HttpCookie c = new HttpCookie("userinfo"); c.Values["domainaccount"] = _CtaUser.DomainAccount; c.Values["userid"] = _CtaUser.UserID.ToString(); [code]....
And it's gone.Again, it works for me and one other programmer who are in the admin group on the web server, but not for anyone else.
So to pretty much make this short and sweet, I have a page variable defined outside of all my methods and functions called buttonpressed. It is used to keep track of which button has been pressed on the app. For example, in the onclick event of my Edit button there is a line:
buttonpressed = "Edit"
I use this to decide what kind of query to perform to my database. My problem is whenever I hit my save button(which uses that buttonpressed value in an if statement to decide what query to perform), the variable value just magically disappears.
I tracked the value to make sure that it is being changed and store correctly based on my add, edit, and delete buttons. As soon as I hit my save button, the value of that variable goes blank.
I have a user control that I am explicitly calling from an aspx page. In page_load of the aspx page I have the following: myControl = (DynamicTable)Page.LoadControl("../inc/DynamicTable.ascx");
Then in my code where I want it to execute the control, I have this: pnlESDDEnrolled.Controls.Add(myControl);
where pnlESDDEnrolled is the panel I am loading it into for display. So, I execute the aspx page, it links off to the user control, populates the control, returns back to the aspx page and the page displays with the user control in the middle of it. All is well.
The problem comes in when updates are made on the user control. Keep in mind, that other data is updated on the page as well, and the update button resides on the page, not the control. Anyway, when the update button is pushed, the button_click event is fired on the page, but the updates that I made on the user control are lost. Since the page loaded the user control and then the usercontrol executed the page unload method, the page has no knowledge of the user control anymore. Thus, when the update button on the page is pushed, I guess I am not really sure what happens with the updated data on the user control. All I know is that it is lost.
I have a 3 page vb.net web application (long story, but it has to be multiple pages). Page one has a datagrid that has rows of data. When a user selects a row, I check to see what "RecordType" corresponds to the row selected. If the RecordType = 1, Page Two loads. If the RecordType = 2, Page Three Loads. The problem I've run into, is that once page two or three loads, all the data is lost. In the gridview, I have the several values in the DataKeyNames, but "loose" them all between pages. Is there a way to pass this data to the next page other than ...Session - I guess I could set the values in the datakeynames as session data.. right?
QueryString - I really don't want to use querystrings, as I don't want users "messing" with the URL.Is there another option available in .NET? I'm kind of hesitant to set sessions, because I'm afraid the values won't get cleared out as needed...
I have an upload control (csv file) of which I use the stream to retrieve data in a datatable that I then bind to a datagrid, sitting in a repeater control.I have to bind more than one record to the repeater, therefore I need to find a way of storing the stream for each binding, so that I can bind it to the datagrid again, via itemdatabound event of repeater.
I have tried storing the stream in the repeater's datatable but on each postback, the content of the stream gets lost. The stream still exists, but its length is set to 0.I have tried storing it in a session object, but again it is reset to 0.
I have tried using viewstate but I get a xmlserialization error. Saying IXmlSerialization is not implemented.I am desperate to find a work around as I am feeling the pressure at work.
I'm a little confused here. In the code-behind of an ASP.NET page, I have a private DataTable that I set on the PageLoad event, which I use to populate controls on the page. However, it seems to get lost (set to Nothing) after the load event.Is this normal?
How do I hold onto a DataTable object after the page loads? This is also very confusing as to how I am supposed to submit updates to the SQLServer db when any changes are mande to that datatable. I mean:
1. PageLoad, set DataTable, set controls values to corresponding columns in Datatable.
2. User changes a textbox value, then start a .BeginEdit(), DataRow("Field) = txtboxvalue.
3. Update button clicked should submit DataTable to Webservice that references a DAL that accepts the DataTable for db update.
On my page I have some text boxes that users can enter values in. The first time they submit the page it gets the values from the text box fine. But when the user goes back using their browser back button and changes a value and resubmits, it shows the value from the first time they submitted, not the new value they just entered.
