View 3 RepliesI have an ASP.NET application that I am developing. I'm using session variables within the app.In Firefox & Chrome, they all work.But in IE (ver 9), there's one variable that's not working. I'm not sure if it's a storage or a retrieval (or both) at this point. The variable in question that I'm storing is a List(T) type. It's the only one of it's kind that I'm using. Can't help but think there's a correlation there.One other old post mentioned the possibility that cache is causing the problem, but I didn't understand the answer very well.
Dim Rec_IDs As New List(Of String)
Rec_IDs = Session("Rec_IDs")
and
Dim Rec_IDs As New List(Of String)

View 5 RepliesI'm planning to use some session variables on an intranet ASP/VB.NET page, and want to make sure that I'm not missing out on anything important I should know, or that I have my information mixed up. So here's what I (think) I know about session variables.They:are stored on the server, so if I have a lot of users then they'll each be using some more memory which could lead to a slowdown.are inaccessible by the user unless I expose access. hang around/persist across user requests (i.e. each time the user makes a request from the page the data will still be there - until it times out). This also means that I need to make sure that the variable doens't have "left over" data in it.
Is there anything that I've got totally wrong, or anything I'm missing? I'd prefer not to get bitten by a bug down the road because I think I understand what's going on.

I am trying to fix an ASP.NET application that is also written is VB and uses session variables to store the information from the logging page. In Firefox, the application runs just fine, but in IE (I am using IE 8), when I summit the logging credentials, the session variables become empty (takes me back to the logging pageThe weird thing is that when I move the privacy settings in IE (doesn't matter if high to low, or low to high) and enter the logging information again, the runs great. Also if I restart IIS 6.0 the application runs great. What's going on?

How could I access the vartest variable without using a session, since if this is accessed by multiple functions at the same time the variable can be overwritten I assume. Is it possible to go the other way, where a variable is sent to a class file?
I've got a problem losing session variables in an ASP/VB.NET application. The application allows searching for an item or it can show an item if provided with a unique link (in the browser). It holds information about the item in session variables. In the webpage showing an Item a user can click a button which opens a window with additional information about the item - obtained from a session variable. When I search for the item using the search engine and click the button - it works OK.
When I copy the link to a browser: the item is shown, however clicking the button returns a 'null exception' - the session variables with information about the item are lost. Moreover when I provide the link for the second time the button works, the variables are there!
I have a gridview and use a session to pass the variables from the page to an edit page. This works perfectly, until you search for a number. When you search the correct record displays in gridview, but when you click edit, it passes the wrong record.
Private Sub gridview1_RowEditing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewEditEventArgs) Handles GridView1.RowEditing
Session("wr_id") = GridView1.Rows(e.NewEditIndex).Cells(2).Text & "~/~" & _
GridView1.Rows(e.NewEditIndex).Cells(3).Text & "~/~" & _
GridView1.Rows(e.NewEditIndex).Cells(4).Text & "~/~" & _
[Code] .....
I realize not all of the code is pasted in here, because it would take too much space. Any Ideas? I'm guessing it has something to do with e.NewEditIndex
I have a web application that allows a user to view family members.
When the user clicks on a family member, it displays the member's basic info. There is also a grid displaying that family member's related family members. (e.g. User can click on the Father link. From that popup, they can then click on the Father's Father link, then click on the Father's Father's Grandson link, etc.).
To reduce the number of popups that appear on the screen, I want to prevent the user from continually clicking on family links past three members.
What is the best way to keep track on how many data forms have popped up? Or can this reliably be done with a web application?
I have an MVC application which sets some session variables based on internal static IP addresses.I have built an ApplicationController to override the OnActionExecuted sub in MVC for data that I need to use throughout my application.However, the code below, which is just a snippet of my code but is edited for my post, only partially works. On initial page load, the session variables aren't saved, but after a page refresh they are. The issue I have is that these need to be saved on the initial page load.
If Session("Item1") = Nothing Then
If IpAddressShort <> "" Then
Dim locInfo = cmsRepository.GetInfoBasedOnLocation(IpAddressShort).SingleOrDefault()
If locInfo IsNot Nothing Then
[code]....
Theoretically, if I'm correct, if there is no Session("Item1") set/if Session("Item1") is empty, then the rest of the snippet should run and set those variables.How come this isn't setting those variables on the first time the page load?
Is there a way to set session variables during login that are then available to reports? We have a reporting services server where we move and denormalize data from our transaction system for reporting purposes. In order to allow our users to login with the same user name and password from the transactional system we have set up custom forms authentication and after much trial and error it is finally working. In addition we have the authorization accessing our transactional system so that any changes in user authority is immediately reflected in Reporting Services.
Our problem now is that we would like to add some additional features such as locking down parameters depending on user authority/groups in our transactional system. We have found a way to do it but it's inefficient, basically we have stored procedures that will query our transactional system to check for access. The problem is that these queries will often be run for every report request even though the answer is unlikely to change. It would be nice to have access to session level data that can be set once during log in and then accessed from the reports.
I am storing a session variable that a user types into a textbox. With their valid input, their session gets created and they get a little more functionality than the regular end users of the site.I was wondering if it is possible to find a way to add someone's session variable to the end of a URL. This way we can email a link to one of our clients, they click it, and their session has automatically begun. They already have the textbox to enter their code into, but I was told that it would be much easier for the users to just click a link that will start their session.

I have adopted a technique where I pass existing objects to forms so that they can display the object's content and allow the user to alter it if necessary. The form is not bound to the object, so when it comes time to act, the form sweeps up the content of its controls and puts them into the object. The object is then validated and any issues reported to the user. If the object is valid, it may be handed back to the caller so the caller can refresh a view/list/etc.
So far, so good. However, if the form's content, or lack of, creates an invalid object and the user does not correct it, maybe cancelling the form, there's a chance the form will hand an invalid object back to the caller. This is not good.
Essentially I'm looking for an elegant and efficient way of either leaving the object as it was or rolling back if the user cancels the form/action.
I have considered a range of techniques, each with many pros and cons. I'm keen to consider some other views.
I'm looking for a method of generating unique identifiers for a record class being created locally and then persisted in various formats (XML, SQL, etc.) I've seen people using DateTime and GetHashCode, but that seems to lend itself to duplicate identifiers depending upon the sample size. GUID is a bit overkill, as I don't need anything that unique (large) at the global level. I'm also aware of using GUIDs and GetHashCode to get the size down a bit, but duplicates tend to crop up here as well. Any best practice or method for generating simple unique identifiers?
View 3 RepliesI have a situation in which I must execute a dynamically built stored procedure against tables that may, or may not be in the database. The data retrieved is then shunted to a VB.Net backed ASP based report page. By design, if the tables are not present in the database, the relevant data is automatically hidden on the report page. Currently, I'm doing this by checking for the inevitable error, and hiding the div in the catch block. A bit kludgy, but it worked.I can't include the VB code-behind, but the relevant stored procedure is included below.However, a problem with this method was recently brought to my attention when, for no apparent reason, the div was being hidden even though the proper data was available. As it turned out, the user trying to select the table in the dynamic SQL call didn't have the proper select permissions, an easy enough fix once I could track it down.First and foremost - is there a better way to check for a missing table than through catching the error in the VB.Net codebehind? All things considered, I'd rather save the error checking for an actual error. Secondly, is there a preferred method to squirrel out a particular OLE DB error out of the general object caught by the try->catch block other than just checking the actual stack trace string?
SQL Query - The main gist of the code is that, due to the design of the database, I have to determine the name of the actual table being targeted manually. The database records jobs in a single table, but each job also gets its own table for processing data on the items processed in that job, and it's data from those tables I have to retrieve. Absolutely nothing I can do about this setup, unfortunately. [code]
I need to add attributes to certain controls in a Windows Forms project. It needs to look something like this: [code] I can go in and edit the designer file to get more-or-less the desired effect, but those designer files sometimes come with the caveat that they are automatically-generated files. I'm worried that the designer might overwrite any changes that I make to the file.

View 1 RepliesI'm modifying an existing form in Visual Basic 2010 Express and attempting to work out some small kinks I've noticed. The one that I'm having an issue with is getting the form to completely fill the screen without the border going off screen. When I set the form's Size values at W:1024,H:768 the page always opens a little off. I tried setting the size a little smaller, W:1020,H:764, and it still does not perfectly fill the screen. Does the Size value include the border pixels or are the border pixels added to the form's Size value? Is there another value somewhere that could be affecting this?
