In my .NET web app, I keep basic user info in a user session object. I also usually keep a director class in the session; which is basically just has info about whatever thing it being worked on on that screen (like a customer id).
I am trying to keep from adding a ton of sessions. I also want to make sure at any given time ONLY the sessions that are necessary are in memory.
This means I need an effective way of managing my session variables.
I want to be able to persist data across a session but do this outside of the built-in session state object. Why is a long story that I will not go into here. I just need to know where I can put data other than in the session object that will persist across the specific session.
View 3 Repliesi am trying to collect 2 variables from one hyperlink, and use those variables in the page_load to set as session. but i don't know how to collect those 2 variables
such :
<a href="javascript:;" onclick="wsChangeColor('mainData', '#FF0000','#FFE4E1');return false;" title="Change color" id="red">1</a>
i would like to collect '#FF0000','#FFE4E1' or direct set '#FF0000','#FFE4E1' to string then send to pageload, how can i do this by only clicking on it ?
I am working on a website and this is my first web project. Scenario for Session I have created a database for my project with security level little bit high. I want to manage session for each and every user who is logging in to my website. Session state can be used using Cookie as well as URL, only one at a time. Now I went over with all four session state modes. i.e 1. InProc 2. State Server 3. Sql Server 4. Custom
Now after reviewing from all these modes I am in confusion which one should I use Sql Server or Custom. Basically i want to store session related information in my own database instead of Aspnet_db which is a default database provided by microsoft. I have created all tables related to login and registration. But I dont know how to store session into my database. What tables do I need to create so as to maintain into database. I want to create a complete log of session and login related information into my database(Persistant atleast for 1 year). I want to use machinekey as AES and SHA1.
<sessionState mode="Custom" cookieless="AutoDetect" timeout="15" regenerateExpiredSessionId="true" stateNetworkTimeout="10" >
</sessionState>
<machineKey decryption="AES"
validation="SHA1"
decryptionKey="7E047D50A7E430181CCAF7E0D1771330D15D8A58AEDB8A1158F97EEF59BEB45D"
validationKey="68B439A210151231F3DBB3F3985E220CFEFC0662196B301B84105807E3AD27B6475DFC8BB546EC69421F38C1204ACFF7914188B5003C1DCF3E903E01A03C8578"/>
<add name="conString" connectionString="Data Source=192.168.1.5; Initial Catalog=dbName; Integrated Security=True;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
What all things do i need to specify in webconfig? My Data Source= 192.168.1.5 Database name= db.mdf What I need to know about. What tables do i need to add to my database to store session related information. eg. Session id (Any other field is also stored or not), Session Time, Session Start Time, Session End Time, Session Expire Time. I dont know what all things are usually taken. Do I need to encrypt Session Id
before storing into database. If Yes Encryption will be automatic or do i need to write some code to do this other than that I wrote in web config above. How mode='custom' will be used into web config using my database. in following code
<sessionState mode="Custom" cookieless="AutoDetect" timeout="15" regenerateExpiredSessionId="true" stateNetworkTimeout="10" >
</sessionState>
I will like to imitate the behaviour of the site ClickBank.com, for example:Open the site, and login, if i open a tab with the same site, it ask me again to login.It makes me wonder how to manage one session per tab.Just to clarify, i don't loose control on the first tab if i log on in the new tab. They are separate sessions.
View 1 RepliesI use some session variables to get the job done(shopping cart, etc) but it is not stable..manytimes I get no items in session object and other times(refreshing the page) I get missing data...I downloaded the entire site code to my local pc and debugged it and run it succesfully without any session data missing...When I run it in the server, I get bad session again: no products in shopping cart or products with missing quantities...
The same website runs smoothly in our production server too....The problem is with our development server...
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.

There are reams of info out there about things causing InProc session to drop session objects, but that's not what's happening here. We're missing individual variables within stable InProc session objects, and are not sure whether they're not being written or being lost after a successful write. I've confirmed with WinDBG that the sessions are live and contain some, but not all, of the data written to them.
Guid g = System.Guid.NewGuid();
this.Context.Session.Add(g.ToString(), result.ImageData);
output.Write("<img src="display.aspx?id=" + g.ToString() + "">");
This code is pretty straightforward, and it works flawlessly in Test. In Production, under heavy load, though, it fails ~1% of the time. If Mr Smith visits the site and attempts to display 4 pieces of image data, 2 of them might be saved in his session and two of them be lost. The InProc session object for Mr. Smith exists. The traffic logs show he clicked 4 times, each with a different id param. But there are only 2 guids in his InProc session object, instead of 4. The 2 session objects we did capture do correspond to 2 of the id's shown in the traffic log (his 1st and 3rd clicks.) The traffic logs for his 2nd and 4th clicks, though, show a guid id that's not in his InProc session object.
Lines 1&3 of the above code obviously worked for those 2nd and 4th clicks, or he'd not have had the id in the URI for him to click. Line 2, however seems to have failed silently in some way. If any exception had been thrown, I'd expect we'd not ever have arrived at line 3. I can't see any way for the user to receive the guid id, but the session to fail to have it. The other possibility is line 2 worked successfully, but the variable later disappeared, how I cannot even imagine.

We're running a web farm, but users constantly return to the same server. I'm researching now whether there's any way users might be slipping off to the other server.
I'm working on an ASP.NET MVC web application that will be deployed across multiple load-balanced servers. With this setup, a user might have one request served by server A and the next request will be served by ServerB or ServerC. We don't want to store Session Data in the database, as we're trying to minimise database hits where ever possible. As such, we need to have the HttpSession managed and stored on another server. My understanding is that this is possible by using a Windows Service that will manage this for me, but I'm unfamiliar with how to implement this. Can somebody point me at some good documentation on how to do this? Or any pitfalls or other points to take into consideration?

Am trying to design login page for my website and I am looking for methods other than forms authentication. The way in which I am trying is to have a table in the database that stores user information and check for the user validity.
The point where I get struck is how do i set cookies and session variables and how will I carry it through out the system. Can anyone tell/suggest me where I can relevant material so as to move forward. And also is my idea of negating traditional forms authentication and going for a model I described, is it good also does any other better method exist?
I want to password protect an area of a website by a login/registration form.

I am using ASP.NET 2.0 and C#. I would like to know if the Session variables are Case-sensitive.
Is Session["StudentId"] and Session["StudentID"] considered the same.
Which would be the proper way to access the session details, when in a page someone passes data as Session["StudentId"] and somebody else passes as Session["StudentID"]?
I have a situation where my session variables seem to get corrupted. I Page_Load I am calling 2 subs. Each of them fills a GridView with data from a table. I am saving the content of each Data.DataTable into Session Variables:
Get_Summary_Last_Completed_Shift()
code in sub:
mySqlDataAdapter.Fill(mySqlDataTable)
Session("mySqlDataTable1") = mySqlDataTable
GridView1.DataSource = mySqlDataTable
GridView1.DataBind()
Code:
Get_Petroleum_Disbursement()
code in sub:
mySqlDataAdapter.Fill(mySqlDataTable)
Session("mySqlDataTable5") = mySqlDataTable
GridView5.DataSource = mySqlDataTable
GridView5.DataBind()
After I call the 1st sub and I debug the session variable "mySqlDataTable1" contains all the data from the table. After I call the 2nd sub and I debug the session variable "mySqlDataTable1" has been changed and contains a mix of data from the 2 tables.
I'm trying to pass some variables from one page to another via the session state and then post those variables to labels on page 2. When I try to write the code for my labels on page2, I get an error of "Declaration expected"Here is my code from that page:

Am I missing a page_load event handler or what am I missing?
I am doing web based projects in dotnet. Currently I am implementing security using session variables. I keep current user id and user type in session and authenticate user from these session variables (say Session["UserId"],Session["UserName"] and Session["UserType"]).
I've heard that such security can be broken and applications can be hacked very easily, like it is possible to get session id and directly connect to that session id etc.
I have an ASP.NET application with 5 .ashx HTTPHandlers that implement RequiresSessionState or IReadOnlySessionState.Upon calling the first handler I create a variable and store it in the session.When I call the next HttpHandler the variable is not available in the session object.I am use context.Session.I have a global.asax where I retrieve the sessionId.Is there a way to preserve session variables across HttpHandlers or does each Handler get its own session?
View 1 RepliesI am having with asp.net app inside of SharePoint (as page viewer).
When the Default page is loaded, it works fine. However, when I try to go to next page, i am getting a null reference exception. It looks like my session variables are becoming null on the next page (even though I set them on the previous page). Here are a couple things that I tried to diagnose the problem.
I try on the couple other computers; some work fine, some still don'ts. In the property of the page viewer inside of the SharePoint, after I click on the "Test link", it started to work fine until the session expired (on the computer didn't work initially).
I am not sure if there are settings that I need to check on the browser or the app server.
I am setting a session variable when the user selects a value from a dropdownlist (SelectedIndexChanged) in webusercontrol #1.
The page then refreshes and I thought that webusercontrol #2 on the page should be able to access the session variable in its page load.
However the session variable is not available until the user refreshes the page again. I'm assuming that the page is refreshed before the session variable is updated.
im new to asp.net. . . im doing my final year project.How to use session variables in application using VC# and I also need to check with data base?
