Losing session or IIS creating a new session ID
Hi If anyone can solve our problem. We had been wondering around for quite a while but could not find the actual problem neither its solution  On our website while dragging through the links on Master page we randomly lose session and a new session ID gets generated in between losing the track of old session ID. This problem started  occuring only when we migrated from ASP 1.x to ASP 2. We have tried working on Timeout Error and Application Pooling but it is neither of that. We suspect IIS to create a new session but we are not very sure and do not know how to solve th...

Getting Session ID and Session ID CHanging
I am building a cart, and when the user first accesses the site, I want to grab their SessionID. For some reason, I cannot get that Session ID when the site first pops up. I have a Session_Start() and Application_Start() function in the global.asax file. My other question is that everytime a page is loaded, a different session ID is grabbed and I am not sure why that would happen. Shouldn;t the Session ID always be the same while the user is on the site or the session timesout? Thanks If you don't use/store something in Session state during a user's Session, it will use a different ...

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? ...

Get Session object from session id
The Session property is the current user's session, but I want to be able to read another user's session object to get/set variables.  I got a session id, but I don't know how to obtain a session object from the id.  Does someone know if this can be done?   I dont think you can access another user session from the current session. However, you should use the Cache, static properties, or Application variables which are shared by all usersHC Haissam Abdul MalakMCAD.NET| Blog |  Sure, technically it would be possible to get at the actual session obj...

After a looong night managed to change Session mode from inProc to SQLServer but still can't get the session variables to be saved
Hi,  I ran my Shopping Cart project and somehow everything worked fine(while in inProc), session variables were saved fine. I made some changes to my project and since then keep getting null session variables, no matter what I do. It took me the whole night to figure out how to turn to SQLServer mode,  marked custom classes as 'Serializable' with [Serializable] before the class definition but everything's in vain. Getting the same damned 'nulls' instead of the saved objects. private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)         {...

Session passing variables Using Session ID
I am passing variables using session ID . When multiple people sign-on to the server, the session ID is passed corectly, but the name and user ID are for the person that signed in first. That is both people get the same information, when it should be customized for each. I am using IIS version 7. SendingHttpContext.Current.Session("Session_ID") = Session.SessionID HttpContext.Current.Session("StudentName") = FirstLastHttpContext.Current.Session("StudentNumber") = StudentNumber Response.Write(FirstLast) Response.Write(StudentNumber) Response.Redirect(&quo...

Accessing Session id / session variables from JAvascript
Hello, i need to make frames in my homepage visible or invisible based on the sessions. Can anybody tell me how to access the sessionid / session variables using javascript ?? Regards yama     Hi, why javascript? If frame element is decorated with ID and runat="server", you could set it from server (when it's also more secure since javascript can also be turned off) Anyway, you could just put <%=%> in middle of js script to output session variable value <script> var mySessionValue = '<%=Session("variable")%>'; </script>  Thanks,Teemu Keis...

Is there a way to set session a variable by session ID?
I have a .Net 2.0 web page that hosts a Java applet.  The applet will post information to a different .Net web page (that the applet hosts, kind of like a frame).  This second page is in the same application as the first page, so it can share session info.  However, since the second page is hosted by the java applet it does not have the same session as the parent page.  I can pass the sessionID from the parent page to the applet, and then pass the ID from the applet to the hosted page (via querystring), however, I cannot figure out a way to set a session variable ...

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...

Losing Session variables/state?
I'm having regular issues with the ASP.NET 2.0 Sessions. The session variables work fine for the most part. I found, downloaded and installed a Session timeout control which is intended to resend the user to the login page when the session timeout is reached. This does work but I'm not sure how well. The control is installed on various Master Pages.  The problem is that from time to time I get an Object reference not set to an instance of an object error:if (DetailsView1.CurrentMode == DetailsViewMode.ReadOnly) { string session = Session["client_id"].ToString(); DetailsView1.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...
