Can Use Ajax To Get Current Time Remaining To Session Timeout
Oct 18, 2010
I would like to pop up a box that warns the user of session timing out in 5 minutes. There are lots of examples of this on the net and I can figure something out. My question however is how to get the time remaining.All examples I read about set a client side timer to countdown from last postback. I would like to do something different. I would like to make an AJAX call to the server and get the time remaining from the server. Is this possible?Since an AJAX call will not reset the session timeout timer can I read the number and send it back to the client?
I have a section in my web app that displays the user's name, the current datetime and a logout link. What i would also like to display is the time left for the session.Is this possible? I'm using an ajax timer to give the user the real time, so if i could display also the time that is left for the session to end would be great.
I'm load testing an asp.net app.The load test is simulating 500 user doing searchs on the site and browsing the results. I'm observing that the more I reduce the session timeout limit (in web.config) the better the page response time.exemple, with a timeout at 10 minutes, I got an average response time of 8.35 seconds. With a timout at 3 minutes, the average response time for the same page is 3,98 seconds.The session in stored "InProc".
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
it is possible to change dynamically the session time for currently logged user. I'm communicating with a WebService which does a long-running task, and while the it sends the final response, I don't want the user to be logged out.
I am a newbie and have designed a website using ASP .Net 2.0 with C# 2005. On the home page I am displaying rates of a few items which gets updated every 15 minutes. The new rates are entered through a different web page into a SQL Table and I am using Page Refresh of the home page to update the rates every 15 minutes. Everything is working ok upto this. But now I have to display a countdown timer of time remaining for the next update on the home page. I am totally clueless as how to approach the problem.
I'm making an ajax call using jquery to an asp.net mvc controller action:
[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)] public ActionResult GetWeek(string startDay) { var daysOfWeek = CompanyUtility.GetWeek(User.Company.Id, startDay); return Json(daysOfWeek); }
When session times out, this call will fail, as the User object is stored in session. I created a custom authorize attribute in order to check if session was lost and redirect to the login page.
I would like to make a periodic background request from JavaScript on the client to my web application (ASP.NET, IIS 7), but I don't want the request to affect the ASP.NET session timeout
actually want to give a popup 2 min before the session timeout,i have actually found out a way to do that but i want to use modal pop up extender instead of javascript.......how should i use this,how do i create the pop up window first and then how do i call it from page load of each page, what should be the targetcontrolid,please help me out.
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 created a user control for my web application that checks for Session Timeout. If the criteria are met for Timeout, I use Response.Redirect to send the user back to the login page. I include this user control in my Master page, and run the SessionTimeoutcode in the user control's Page_Init event. That all works great. However, once the user logs in again after time-out (and I have verified that the OnLoggedIn event does fire) the user is redirected to the DestinationPageUrl. That page runs the Session Timeout check when it loads (as it should) and the Session Timeout code "says" that the session is still timed-out.
I'm working to set up/correct my session timeout code, and have consulted numerous articles like this one and this SO post for ideas on how best to do this. The solution to detecting a session timeout that I continue to see over and over is to first check the Session.IsNewSession property for true, and if so, then check to see if a session cookie already exists. I guess the logic here is that the user has ended their last session that timed out, started a new session, but the old cookie wasn't yet removed. The code for those checks looks like this:
[CODE]...
The problem is that the session does not end, and all of my session timeout checks are in the Home/Customer action (I use MVC). So I'm redirected to Home/Customer, and I run through the checks above, but when I get to Session.IsNewSession, it's false, because the session is still alive (I assume because I'm still within the 120 minutes I have set)
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 have two text boxes with each one has auto complete text box extender.Based On First text box value ,i am getting second text box values.it is working fine .But my problem is old values are remaining in second text box (like intellisence) sample : textBox1 Value is A -- textBox2 values are a1,a2 ....Suppose i changed textBox1 Value to B -- textBox2 values are a1,a2,b1,b2 (i expected only b1,b2)
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 searched around and couldn't find a clear answer to this: I have a form which collects information solely using AJAX and takes about 40 minutes or so to complete all the way through (multiple screens, all via AJAX UpdatePanels).There are multiple AJAX calls and UpdatePanel changes during the completion of the form, and all calls are asynchronous- there are no browser refreshes.I expect the Session timer to be "re-set" every time an AJAX call is made from my form?
I would expect it to, and from my own testing, it appears to. But I have had some reports from end users which make me think otherwise.
Find if the current time falls within hourly ranges and display the start hour and end hour of that range in labels.
Examples:
If the current time is 8:46am, label startTime would return "8am" and label endTime would return "9am" If the current time is 10:01pm, label startTime returns "10pm" and label endTime returns "11pm" If the current time is 12:59am, label startTime returns "12am" and label endTime returns "1am"
I have been working with the C# TimeRange class but not getting what I need.
I have a date/time stored in a smalldatetime field (ms sql 2005) that i want to compare with the current time and receive a difference. If the difference is less than 30 minutes, do this....if more do that....
