Asp.net - Finding All Use Of Session State?
Feb 3, 2011
I'm looking for some smart ideas on how to quickly find all usage of session state within an existing asp.net (MVC) application.
The application in question was the subject of outsourced development, and has been running fine in production. But we recently realised that it's using InProc session state rather than (our preferred route) StateServer.
In a small scale test, we switched it over to StateServer, and all worked fine. However, when we deployed to production, we suddenly experienced a large number of errors. I'm not sure if these errors were caused by this change (they were actually complaining about database level problems), but removing the change allowed the application to function once again (this may have just been because it caused a recycle to occur).
So before I try switching it again, I'd like to perform a thorough audit of all objects being placed in the session (I'd previously taken a quick look at a couple of controllers, and they seemed fine). If I had full control over the code, this is the kind of place where I'd just comment out the class (to compile and find the various ways of reaching the session class), then comment out the accessors, hit compile, and visit each error. But I can't do that with built in .NET framework types.
I decided to try using Reflector. I've analyzed the "Used By" for each of the following:
System.Web.HttpSessionStateBase.set_Item(String, Object) : Void
System.Web.SessionState.HttpSessionState.set_Item(String, Object) : Void
System.Web.SessionState.HttpSessionState.set_Item(Int32, Object) : Void
[Code]....

I have several sessions stored at one time, and i want to count a particular one:
i have session.contents("session1") and session.contents("session2")
but i only want to check if there is anything in session2...
I tried this:
If Session.Contents("session2") = "" Then
as in, if theres nothing in it, then do something. But... it says when there is nothing in session2, that theres no object reference, i want to do something like this:
session.contents("session2").count or something

I have an uploadify control working fine in a vb.net web application - however whenever I switch on cookieless session state in web.config (cookieless="true") - it stops working. In my upload IHttpHandler I can see that the data stored by uploadify is nothing:
[Code]...
I'm guessing that the flash isn't honoring the session id in my url? how to keep uploadify working when I turn on cookieless session state?

I have a Dynamic Data application to which I have added a class for extending EDM. Everything works great, but now I am trying to set an entity property value equal to a value in session state - and its not recognizing the Session command. I'm trying to do something like this:
audit.action_by = CStr(Session("person_name"))
I think this is because I do not have the class Inheriting Page, but if I do add Inherits Page it breaks other stuff. How can I have the class include the ability to utilize sessions directly without inheriting Page?

I'm trying to track down a problem on our test environment. Previously it was set to use InProc Session State Type, but I've added in the SQLServer type for one specific Web App. I did this because we use the SQLServer type in our production environment and I want our test env to match as closely as possible.
However, after changing it to SQLServer I do not get any errors when trying to store unserializable data in session like I would expect. It works just fine, even though I would think it shouldn't. I'm a relative newbie when it comes to configuring this, but from the various tutorials I googled, I thought I covered all the bases.I was wondering if there's any code snippets to verify which session state type an application is actively using.

I have a bit of strange behaviour in an asp.net web application that involves the session state being lost.
Process A user logs into the application and the session is set. They then fill out 1 field, and the application then does an AJAX POST to a .asmx web service. Within the web service, I am using a HttpWebRequest to grab data from another server.
This data is then output to the browser.A few more fields are then filled in, and the data is then again Post to the same web service via an AJAX POST.

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 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.

Also in web config file session timeout is 2 hours.

I 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.

how to POST to a php file form a vb.net app: http:[url].... So now I've logged in the user user by posting their username and password to the php file, the php file then does security/checks they exist/etc and if both username and password are correct is stores the user ID in a session variable.Now if the vb.net app tries to download data off a page which needs the user to logged in, it checks this by doing:
if (!isset($_SESSION['uid'])) {
header("Location: index.php");
}
However after having logged correctly in the app the session variable is not set.How does session work with a vb.net app like this?When the user logs in successfully should I download the user id and keep it in the vb.net app and then post it to each page that requires authentication?

I am using visual basic ADO reference to connect to Teradata database. In the code I hold the metadata in the volatile table, However after fixed number of SQL execution statements the session changes thus erasing all the data of the previous session stored as volatile tables.

I have written a page with an iFrame that basically cycles through a series of internal pages on our server displaying daily activity for our company. The problem I think is that it sporadically loses its session and redirects back to the login screen to keep losing its session which is the default behavior for anyone on our site trying to access a webpage without being logged in.
I have set the session timeout to 4hrs, the iframe cycles through 6 pages anywhere from 10 seconds to 5 minutes on each, and I have even set the META refresh on the page to refresh every 3 hours. I don't understand what else could possibly stop this page from staying active.

I am building a User Management section to a website CMS.The user has a list of users and then clicks the edit button, the system then stored the UserId in a session and goes to the editUser.aspx page which will show the users details.To get the users details I need to convert the UserId session to a Guid so i can get user details.
I keep getting error message:
System.InvalidCastException: Specified cast is not valid.
Dim selectedUserId As Guid = CType(Session("strUserId"), Guid)
Dim mu As MembershipUser = Membership.GetUser(selectedUserId)
