Session Variables Vs Session Class
Hi All, I am rewriting a classic ASP application in .NET using ASP.net and C#. We used Session Variables to handle storing the current user information throughout the original application.  I was wondering what the benefits would be of using a Session Class over Session Variables, and also how I could implement this? Many thanks in advance for any information you can give me. Regards, Aj Check this out. I think Session class always beneficial since you have more control over accessing and setting your session variables and exception handling. Check the link for its sample implem...

Variables VS Session + Multiple Session Timeouts
I've read that "http is stateless" which is one reason people use Session variables instead of code behind variables. I'm having problems with session variables vanishing after about 10mins. I've checked "App Options" under "Application Configuration" under the properties of the Virtual Directory (IIS 5 on Win2000).  It sais "Session Timeout = 59mins"  web.config <authentication mode="Forms"> <forms timeout="60" /> </authentication>  <sessionState timeout="58" />   Im using master pages, and have declared public variable and session variab...

Session State Variables across multi sessions
I am having an issue where I save my DataTable into a Session Variable:   Session["dtDMFile"] = dtDMFile; Different users can use the web form that I created. Once the data is loaded,I send the DataTable to the session variable. My problem is that when I go to reload the data in the table, it is taking the data from the last user who stored the DataTable instead of from the particular user on their browser. For instance, User 1 (machine 1) loads data with field contents of: field1  field2  field3 User 2 (machine 2), then loads data with field contents of: f...

Good news for those of you who get "Unable to make the session state request to the session state server." error..
Dear all,Due to the known problem of session variables getting lost if using InProc-server during frequent changes in development, I had to choose between SQL and ASP.NET State server, so I opted for the second. Initially, all fine, but after using it for a few days, I started to get this error: Server Error in '/cv2' Application.Unable to make the session state request to the session state server. Please ensure that the ASP.NET State service is started and that the client and server ports are the same.  If the server is on a remote machine, please ensure that it accep...

getting a new session id and losing session variables
prb: I have two pages in my app - one on redirect and the other as a new window - that get a new session id from every other page in the app (they both get the same session id) and obviously the session state variables are lost and, therefore, the pages do not look like they should.  All pages are within the same domain and virtual directory. 1. a redirect; session variables are lost; session id is different from the previous page; if you click the BACK button you return to the previous page and the session id is the same as before and the session variables are as they should be2. ...

When does Session.Abandon remove session variables (.NET 1.1)?
I have a logout function which includes session.abandon. This also (correctly) removes any session variables I've created if I look at them on the next page load. However, if I examine these variables immediately after the session.abandon call, they still exist with their current values. Where in the page life cycle does session.abandon actually remove these variables? Thanks in advance.  -- ZLA  After you have called Abandon() method, current session becomes invalid, but new session will be created on the next request. If you need to remove all values from session coll...

Loosing session state when I call a session variable from a derivated class
Hi folks I'm having an annoying problem. I have a web application which is used to edit some database data. The databases content may be in various languages, having one database for each language. I load a database calling it by the database name and the language suffix (for example: database_eng, when 'eng' is the laguage variable). So, I need to set a session variable 'Language', which is used in any webpage that calls information from a database. The problem I have is in some classes, which stores some methods to obtain information from databases. These clas...

Session-to-session
I must be missing something. I can not get the tabs to come back as they were when a session is ended. On the Main tab, I have "Show my windows and tabs from last time" On the Privacy tab, I have "Always clear my private data" with ONLY Download History, Cache, and Authenticated Sessions selected. When I close a session and then restart Firefox, I only get a single blank tab. -- The Frosted Flake +------------------------ SPAM is for eating ------------------------+ Frosted_Flake wrote: > I must be missing something.

Session State in VS.Net
Hi.. I have an ASP background with very little VB. I'm trying to integrate a transactional app into DotNetNuke. The trans app uses session state to verify userid. I dont want to change all the code in the trans. app so I thought updating the following code to include Session("UID") = userId in signin.ascs.vb would do the trick but it doesnt appear to be storing the userid into state. Does anyone know what the problem might be ? If blnLogin Then ' Attempt to Validate User Credentials Dim userId As Integer = objSecurity.UserLogin(txtUsername.Text, txtPassword.Text, _p...

Session Start / Session End
What kind of hoops do I have to jump through to get ASP.NET (1.1 and 2.0) to fire an event to call routines of my choice when a user's session begins and ends?
