"Now one option if you want to have your DLL pull the stuff from Session is to abstract out session. So you could define an interface like IStorage, that your library will know how to use. Then you can have a SessionStorage or MemoryStorage class and use IoC to inject the appropiate class into your library classes. This gives you the freedom to code it how you wanted it to be coded without tying your code to Session. Oh and one other benefit if done properly can be used to not tie your code to session in the web either.

Well im trying to make a custom login page(im not using ASP.net Login Control), in Admin.aspx page
UserName and Pasword are entered in textboxes , then Code-Behind file checks the UserName and Pasword against DataBase(it stores the UserName and Pasword) if both are correct Session["IsAuthenticated"] = "true" and then user is redirected to AdminArea.aspx
AdminArea.aspx checks if ( Session["IsAuthenticated"].ToString() == "false" ) then redirect to Error page..
but i get NullReferenceException on AdminArea.aspx because Session["IsAuthenticated"] is null , i dont know why ?
I even tried PreviousPage.Session["IsAuthneticated"] but still got the same error..
I debugged,and found out Admin.aspx saves value in Session["IsAuthenticated"] succesfully but AdminArea.aspx looses the Session["IsAuthenticated"]..so it gets null
My Question is how to retain value in Session["IsAuthenticated"] when page is changed (I want to retrieve value in next page from Session)?
i'm a asp.net c# beginner, i set a session variable in a.aspx but it's null when i try to retrieve it in b.aspx
I want to show my data in next page with well formated in table.I all ready write code for session which show data in next page.but i want to show it in table format and i also want to comapre in database for a price and show too. this is my code for next page:

this code show me data but as i say iwant it in table format and want to comapare session varibles in database i want to show price accoding that particular product. The Pervious page code:

I have a session variable which contains a list of elements. The user defines filters, which are sent to the Database, which fills the object with the elements that match. Then, that list is shown in a table. The code goes something like this:
[Code]....
Inside that page there is a button, which sends the request given the user filters. The Server creates the object and the session variable is assigned a value.
[Code]....
It works when the user sets the filters. However, given that once done it, the session variable has a value, I don't understand why if you navigate to other pages, the table doesn't appear when you return, given that:
1. It works when you perform the query and reload the page
2. The Session variable should be set for the rest of the session
I am creating some sessions on successful login and I need to access them from my master page. How do I go about this?
public void showUser()
{
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(Session["User"].ToString()))
{
Response.Write(Session["User"].ToString());
}
else
{
Response.Write("Not Logged In");
}
}
In my web application, I have to load different Master pages depending on the user log-in information. When I say different, I mean not just the colors but a whole new look[including navigation options]. So I am using 2 Master pages [one of them is set as default] and depending on the user information the other page will be used.
I got it to work by storing the user information in a Session variable and applying the master page dynamically using the Page_PreInit event. But the issue is, if I hit the back
button, sometimes [yeah, only sometimes !!!] the master page is reset to the default page. Initially I thought it is a Session timeout issue. But it isn't, as some of the session variables still have data. Can anyone explain whats actually happening?
can we grab a global variable or Session or View State variable in the javascript or using jquery?
I have a web application which uses a session variable to store the logged in userid. If no user is logged in, of course this variable will be empty and the contents displayed on my website are meant for guests. If there is a user logged in, the user specific controls/access/links will then be a displayed.
I am now having issues with my hosting where on shared application pool, the worker recycle is triggered every 90 minutes, this will clear sessions causing all my users to be logged out. I opted for a dedicated application pool, which got worse because I am only allocated 50MB memory limit and if this is reached, the worker recycle is triggered and I lose my sessions again. I have tried as much as possible optimization techniques, e.g. dispose where possible, close connections, disable viewstate for static controls etc but my memory per instance keeps building up from page to page without any signs of improvement. I don't use loops nor store huge objects like bitmaps etc but my sessions are now gone even faster than 90 minutes in shared application pool before.
I have considered using SQL Session State but there isn't a simple guide on using this with MySQL. I am getting desperate and considering using a public variable, a string as a replacement to store logged in user id instead of in a session variable. I am pretty sure this will solve my issue with sessions being recycled but are there any negative consequences of doing this? One problem I can think of is if the user closes the browser, the system will never know that the user is now logged out and this public variable should be nothing. In this scenario, will the GC eventually clear this abandoned public variable.
I am building a web app that is limited to one database, therefore I cannot use the ASP.NET config tool. As a quick means of getting this app online, I tried to use a simple session variable. The login page verifies the user's credentials, and if they pass, it sets the session variable to a certain value. All other pages check in the page_load event whether or not the session variable is equal to that value. The problem is that once being logged in for a short while and sending and recieving some data, the session variable resets, and I'm returned to the login page to repeat the process. Here's the basic code from my webforms:

Is there some setting I need to change in the web.config file to adjust the cookie timeout or is that only for the config tool authentication methods?
I added the following code to global.asax to load up several session variable when a session starts. I'm assuming that when a page goes to use the variable that I should be
1) checking at the page level that the value is valid not 0 when its not expected to be 0, not a zero-length string when its expected to have a length
2) have code at the page level that sets the values if the values have not been set as when the Session timeout, ideally putting the code in a class derived from Page and then deriving all of my pages from the new class so that the code does not have to be repeated in every page

I have some code in my page load event where I just want to fire once when the user opens the Browser. The only issue is if you open a new tab with the same website the session variable does not reset. Is there a way to reset the session variable when you open a new tab or do you have to take the whole web browser down for it to clear the session variable.

I have been spending a better part of a week trying to track down why I am not able to clear all session variables in a web app (vs 2010, vb.net). What I have tracked it down to is that when I remove or abandon sessions that my html pages or codebehind access, it works, but for some reason in any of my class files where I use "Public Shared strConnection as String = HttpContext.Current.Session("strConnection").ToString" to access a session variable, it finds the old one and not the current one. I have to wait for it to time out, go in again, and it will find the new one.
I do not use Linq, and there is only one place in the whole web app that I place the connection string in a variable whcih is when a person logs in. It points them to the correct database. The sqlconnection is set for all of my listviews in Page_Init to make sure that they aren't using any session variable that they create on their own. Interestingly enough that if I use debug to go in each time, exit debug, enter debug again trying to access a different database, it works correct each time. I assume that debug is correctly killing the session variable for the classes for me.
I am new to asp.net Can you please guide me what is session and session variables ? Please I don't need a comparision of asp session and asp.net session because I don't know anything about asp. I have saw many articles on types of session as well. But still I cant understand exectly what is session and what are session variables in asp.net ?

I am using ASP.NET 2.0I am little bit confuse about using of Session Variable. I have a three page web application. When a user login, after verification of user credentials I get user ID from DB and store this ID in a session variable.Session("USERID") = 56by using this ID I can get 20 different values from database as User Full name, user date of birth, user location, user date of joining, User Commission rate etc. I need some of these values in Page 1, some in page 2 and some values needed in Page 301. After successfully login and getting the User ID, I take all these 20 values from Data Base and store these values in an ArrayList and store this ArrayList in a seesion and whenever I need to use any value I take these values from ArrayList which is save in Session variable.

I've recently been tasked with fixing a rather nasty bug resulting from the misuse of session state. We have an asp.net web application that runs on a single sever using inproc session state. The basic design is that a typed dataset is loaded from the database and stored in session state using a common session variable name like Session["dataset"] = dataset. After the data is stored in the session the user edits the data, dataset is retrieved from the session updated and sent to the database for updating. This type of data editingstoring is used across multiple webforms that basically do the same thing. All is good until a user tries to launch a second instance of the application and data stored within the session variable can get mixed up. Here are the possible fixes that I've been able to find
Set sessionState cookieless="false" (every new instance gets a unique session id) PROS - easiest solution, almost no code changes needed CONS - guid in url, user can edit guid, guid can be copied Use a custom session key for every instance (pass a session key around and combine it the "dataset" + session key name so that each instance has a unique session variable) PROS - no guid in url CONS - most amount of code changes, possibly fragile Remove the session variable (Load the dataset from the database a second time for editing) PROS- frees up server resources, no longer dependent upon session state CONS - performance hit, high amount of code changes
I am building a simple search interface for one of our existing systems. I am using windows authentication. What I would like to do is grab the username of the logged in user via httpcontext.current.user into a session variable on page load and use it in various places on my page. My problem is that when i run my code in debug mode from visual studio it works fine. But when i try to run my code from the browser using localhost it does not work.

If User.Identity.Name <> "" And User.Identity.IsAuthenticated = True Then
If Page.IsPostBack = False Then

I am storing Datatable in Session variable in my project. Is it good practise to do so? The datatable has 20 fields and can run into 1000+ records. Will it hamper my application performance?
