Session Variables lost after Response.Redirect()
Hi gurus,
I encouter lost session variables trouble when Response.Redirect() to another aspx page.
I set 19 Session variables before redirecting. However, the redirected page's session contains only One variable.The very weir sympton is: If I restart IIS, only for the first IE encounter, the redirected page DOES show all 19 session variables.
Once I close IE, any further IE or IE from any other machine's only shows ONE session variable.I can also reproduce such symptons in VS2005 development environment.
Can someone tell me what I have missed? Thanks!
Here is my very straight-forward code pieces:Page1.aspx C# Code behind: (I assign 19 session variables before redirecting to Page2.aspx)
-----------------------------------------
protected void btnTest1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// set session variables
this.Session["_Mode"] = "New";
this.Session["_Action"] = ActionParam;
. . .
// at end Session contains 19 session variables
Response.Redirect(~/Page2.aspx);
}
Page2.aspx C# code behind: (lblDebug shows all session variables)
----------------------------------------
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
foreach (string sName in Session.Contents)
{
this.lblDebug.Text += sName + " = ";
if (this.Session[sName] != null)
{ this.lblDebug.Text += this.Session[sName].ToString() + " <br/> "; }
else
{ this.lblDebug.Text += "null <br/> "; }
}
}My Web.config contains: (Cookie is enabled in all machines)
-----------------------------------
<system.web>
. . .
<sessionState mode="InProc" cookieless="false" timeout="40" />
</system.web>
Here are strange symptons:
---------------------------------------
a) In IIS environment:
i) If I restart IIS, Pages2.aspx WORKS, but only for the first encounter, and shows all 19 session variables.
ii) If I close IE and launch a new IE, Pages2 only shows ONE session variable.b) In VS2005 Development environment:
i) If I launch VS2005 from scratch and run the web project, Page2.aspx WORKS and shows all 19 session variables.
ii) However, if I close the browser and run he web project again, Pages2.aspx only shows ONE session variable.
iii) When I debug the 2nd run:
- In Page1.aspx Session.Count = 19 before Response.Redirect() line
- In Page2.aspx Session.Count = 1 in Page_Load()Please help...

Jansuan The link you mentioned is indeed a great article that explains the root cause of the problem.
However, I tried the overload method
Response.Redirect("~/Page2.aspx", false);
It DOES not work for me. I am still not getting the same Session State.
In the linked blog you mentioned, I saw mixed response. Some said the oveload method work, and others said otherwise. I do not see a solid answer as exactly how to make it work. Can you shed morel ight?Page2.aspx does works if I use
Server.Transfer("~/Page2.aspx");
But, this approach causes other issues for me in my real page and it is not the solution I prefer.I notices that in Page2.aspx, the Session.SessionID is changed (that proves Pages2.aspx was assigned a fresh new Session State.) In my post, I said I got onle ONE session variable in Page2.aspx. I was wrong, Page2.aspx actually get NO session variable to begin with.
Regards,
Jansuan

anas Hi Jan,
Most of the browsers will accept maximum 10 to 15 session variables or cookies. If U try to use nore than it previous contents will be lost.
You can use following options
1. pass variables by querystring (dont' pass sensitive data like password. in such a case session is recommended.
2. use ViewState variable
3. use Request.Forms variable
Important:
-
Check whether session state is enabled in IIS
-
go to IIS, click Your Virtual directory . go to properties
-
in the dialog go to Virtual directory Tab and click configuration button
-
A new dialog will be shown
-
go to Options Tab
-
check the Enable session state
-
refresh it

Shakthishyamala HI jansuan,
I realy suprised by the question you asked. But important thing is to be noted that there are good amount of session variables which not all browsers supports or fail to support.Better use query string and pass the value from on page to the others. But if u really want to use the Session variables the one thing u can do.
Make a BE and use all the 19 variables as a property to this BE and use this single BE into ur session. If u have to assign something then typecast it inot that BE and add value to by BE.Property name=<value>
and get it in the same way,

State management upon session variable changes
I noticed that whenever a session variable is changed...the application knows about it and suddenly restarts session. My question is does restart "ALL" sessions or only the active sessions for which the variables changed? Imagine a "multi-user" application all with different states and an administration panel that lets you change session variables. In this case, my question has to do with the question that if Company X changes his session variables, will only Company X's sessions be reset or will all "sessions" be reset? Hope that makes sense. ...

Session variables vs. Session States
What is the difference and in what situations are they used. Thanks, Mattypee A session state (the state of your session) holds your session variables. If your session state expires (due to inactivity) then you lose your session variables...and any other info stored for that session. If you need to store USER specific information within a web app, then session variables are one(of several) ways to do it. MajorCatsMajorCats Is there any code that you could show that would give an example? Thanks, Mattypee example of what? reading and writing session variables? ...

How to Debug Response.Redirect losing session variable, when upload file
HELP! I have a page where users can enter text and optionally upload an image. To upload the image, the page contains an image file upload usercontrol I created. The control displays the image after loading and stores the image information to the database and creates an image ID. Then the user can submit the entire page which just saves the user's text and the image ID to the database. In addition, I create a user account for the user and store their new id in a session variable ("LoginID"). When saved, the page does a response.redirect to the next data input page. Excluding the first pag...
Lost session variables on redirect after cross-domain httppost request
Hi all, I have an asp page with an httppost request to bypass login for another .net page on another domain. This works fine and returns the results as expected. I am having difficulty when navigating away from the resulting page as the post request I have made is simply response.write of the xml returned so the page stays on the old domain without a redirect to the new site. Therefore any links I have on the new page do not work without using the fullpath to the page, same goes for any buttons which do postback as the page does not exist...
