Is The Singleton In ASP.NET Per Session Or Per Machine
Sep 8, 2010
I have an web application written in ASP.NET (FW 3.5) (along with some VBScript, this is a legacy app) that uses a utility class in the backend that logs error. I need to log several values that a user has entered in the front-end. Since the utility class has no access to the front end (or any HTTP services), i created a singleton class within the utility namespace that my front end UI can access and store information about the user.
I guess more specifically, I am wondering if there's a way to store session variables that can be shared across the web application and web services through a class referenced by both of the application and web services. For example, I have an error handling class that is used by both instances that required information about the user. Is there a way to create a per-session singleton to hold that information, so that my error class will have access to the user info?

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.

On startup of my software which i developed in vb.net, it connects to mssql server. I want to have session id or session number of the connection with mssql. I'm sure it is unique number and i want to use this session in my software for different purposes. My question is
1. is there anything like session id or session unique number when you connection mssql server
2. if yes to 1 then how i can get it in vb

Sometimes there is a need to initialize the singleton class with some helper values. But we can't "publish" a constructor for it. What is the workaround for this?overloading the GetInstance or setting a color is not my idea. The color should be set only once. I would like to be sure that MyPainter paints ONLY with the initialized color. Any default color should ever be used.
For more clarity I provide a sample:
''' <summary>
''' Singleton class MyPainter
''' </summary>
Public Class MyPainter

I am normally a c# programmer but am now working in VB for this one project when I use to set up a singleton class I would follow the Jon Skeet model
public sealed class Singleton
{
static Singleton instance = null;
static readonly object padlock = new object();
[code]....
I get StackTracker.Instance.Instance and it keeps going, while it is not the end of the world it looks bad.is there a way in VB to hide the second instance so the user can not recursively call Instance?

I have recently discovered the singleton approach to mdi child forms and I was trying to integrate this singleton stuff into my "mChildform" class but I keep getting InvalidTypeCastException when I do so. Not sure where I am messing this up.
My mChildform class inherits Form and adds a few properties that are required by all child forms. All of my other project forms inherit this mChildform as their base type instead of form.
When I go directly to one of these forms (the logs form for example) and add
[code...]
I get the exact results that I want. Naturally, since this is something I want all child forms to be able to do I try to add it to my mChildform base class.
The code compiles, but since the reference is of mChildForm type I want to cast it to my usable form class, but it throws the InvalidCastException.
[code..]
I'm not sure why I can't cast it to the other form type, but i'm hoping someone here can explain why I cannot. The Instance() check would always fail if I do not cast my instance to another one of the types.
Since my mChildForm class only holds minimal info to do any real work I have to cast it to the other type. As a workaround I can add the instance method to each new form but I would really like to get it into the base class.

In the Designer of my forms I usually have this for Singleton purposes.[code]Is there any hack in the IDE that would let me just press a button or something and it will automatically add the code I have above to the selected Designer?I can always type or copy/paste/modify it but I thought there could be something that I could set to just automate this redundant task.

I am working on creating a customized UI composite control. This control would be a container to several other custom controls.As a first step, i am creating the container UI using a singleton pattern. This is because at any point in time only one isntance of this container is allowed to be created. This is fine.Now i want to practice interface based desgin. So i introduced a sinple interface calleD IdesignSurface which has two properties. I would like my singleton class to implement this interface,so i tried something like this and got an error saying "end of line
NotInheritable
Class DesignSurface

Im trying to Implement the Singleton Pattern and im wondering if this is "Thread Safe" or if I am going to have to explicitly perform a SyncLock on the object instance? Example:
Public NotInheritable Class SingleTon
Private Shared _singleton As SingleTon
Private Sub New()
[Code].....
I tried it both ways, using the SyncLock and without, just not sure which one to be using?

Reading about singletons classes/pattern gave me a pretty good idea for its use. But would it be a good practice to store user related variables in properties of a thread safe singleton class so i can access them by chaining?
Example
When a user logs in several variables will be assigned to a session variable like:
Session("UserID") = reader("UserID")
Session("AccessLevels") = reader("Accesslevels")
Session("UserName") = reader("UserName")
...
Now when working on my webapplication i could always access these values by calling the session() variable, but the chance to forget the session keys or erroneous write them down is significantly. So again would it be good to store these session variables in readonly properties of singleton class so I can access them like:
MySingleton.ID
MySingleton.Accesslevels
MySingleton.UserName

I've inherited a lot of custom made software for an office, and, while managing it, I've found it performs differently from machine to machine.I mean, some controls get painted in weird ways in some machines but well in another, or just work differently, like in some machines clicking something selects it, and in the next machine clicking the same thing makes it editable.I suspect, o course, of the myriad of DLL the software loads

So I took this from an example. GetInstance() is called from hundred different places in my program, and when I debug, the line "Prog = New Program" keeps getting hit for each of those calls. Which I thought was exactly what should NOT happen.. Or do I have some fundamental misunderstanding?
[Code]....
It seems the "New" sub triggers a number of calls to Program.GetInstance, before the first one completes. This is due to me earlier having lots of shared public objects in this class, which are no longer shared since the class was made singleton. And these objects, when initialized, calls the Program class for reference to other of it's objects.

I have a table, Users, with a related child table, UserSecurityGroups. In my GUI, the operator would select a user from a list. The program would retrieve the user record and allow the operator to edit the user data in one form. The operator could also edit the UserSecurityGroups of this user on another form.
I am considering using a singleton class for user instance retrieval and persistance back to the database. If this is a good practice, I want to use this with many other tables in my DB. My question is: Is this a good practice? What pitfalls am I missing? What would you recommend as an alternative? Would your recommendation change since I also have tables with three or four levels of relations (as opposed to two in the example above)?
Here is my proposed code:
Imports System.Data.Linq
Public Class UserConduit
Implements IDisposable

I have an Addin for MS Excel which needs a singleton to share data amongst modules.Depending on the version of Excel (2003, 2007, 2010), and how Excel was started, it calls my addin from different, unpredictable AppDomains, which prevents the classic singleton approach.Creating a custom AppDomainManager won't work because Excel has already created the AppDomains before the addin is called.
Linking to mscoree to enumerate domains breaks the addin registration process (and I really don't want that anyway); there doesn't seem to be any other way of enumerating, so that isn't an option either.The only solution that I've found is to use remoting. Here's my test rig:
Imports System.Runtime.Remoting
Imports System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels
' Remeber to add reference to System.Runtime.Remoting DLL[code].....
Once everything is running, access to the singleton takes ~100µS, which is perfect. I can live with the ~400mS the first time each AppDomain is initialised. The problem is at startup, where the remoting invocation takes ~2.5 seconds.

Implement singleton in a parent class.Infact what I want is that All the childs etc. should use same instance of the parent.
I have implemented singleton, Changed the scope of parent class's constructor to "Protected". But in the application when ever the new child's constructor is called i.e. "Dim abc as New Ch1()" the constructor of Parent is called (as it is Proctected and can be access from child).

I'd like to expose some functionality via a WCF service. I can configure WCF to instantiate a class per-request but am unsure how I can get a reference to a communal singleton if I were to have some functionality to store a list of calls to a method (call it LogMethod) via WCF in memory and return that list when the GetLogs method is called
I'm aware I could use a database/the file system to pass this data back an forth but in many cases, that seems to be overkill. Edit: It seems that nobody has a clear answer - I can't believe this is complex. Am I missing something obvious?

I am trying to create an interface and then about 3 or 4 singleton classes that would be accessed via the interface.I know how to get interfaces to work and I know how to create concrete singleton classes and access them via GetInstance(). But when I put the two together, failure results.My problem is in the GetInstance method of the concrete singletons as in
Public Class MovingList
implements ISelectedList
[code]....
ISelectedList is the interface. This fails because ISelectedList.GetInstance is not of the type MovingList. Plus there is a problem with the use of Shared that I think is solved by simply deleting it (interfaces implicitly share).I can't define the type of ISelectedList.GetInstance because each of my singleton classes is of a different type even though they implement exactly the same properties and methods.How best to implement such singleton classes? I could do away with the interface and simply deal directly with the concrete singletons but that feels like bad practice. Programming to an abstraction not an implementation and all that.

My problem is that I can't actually call .Serialize() on the instance of this class, like all of the examples online show. What am I doing wrong?

I have a page, a session starts on page load (using global.asax) the user may not move from (or interact with) that page for a long while and I dont want to increase the session timeout. When the session times out after say.. 20 minutes, I want to start a new one, without moving from the page. I also don't want constant keep-alives i want to do it via another method (timer, button press...)

Partial Class Preferences_MyPreferences
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Dim userID As String = Session("UserID")
This is just a page in asp.net. I want to be able to grab the Session("UserID") but every time I try, I get this error:
Session state can only be used when enableSessionState is set to true, either in a configuration file or in the Page directive. Please also make sure that System.Web.SessionStateModule or a custom session state module is included in the \ section in the application configuration.
If I put that Dim userID inside say the Page_Load Event, then it works fine. Why does it have to be inside an event? I want to dim it once, and use it throughout the page.
