Asp.net - ViewState Persisted To Session When Using IE (but Not FF)?
Oct 27, 2009
I have a VB.Net web site and on my sign up page I am storing the ViewState in Session. I am using the following code to achieve this.[code].....
This has been working fine for months, then I started seeing the occasional 'System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.'. The exception is raised when I try to get the value of the Text Property from the SelectedItem of a DropDownList, the problem being the DropDownList does not contain items after the page has posted back.The problem is only present when using IE (7 or 8 according to my logs, but I have only tested with 8), but not when using FireFox 3.5.Reverting to using the normal ViewState persistence mechanism caused the page to work in IE again.There are no ViewState related exceptions logged, it is like the page just 'thinks' it has no stored ViewState.

I have constructed a graphical user control using VS2008 and I am testing it in a solution that includes the control project and a sample form with the control and some configurable settings. In the test application I have persisted a few of the control property values in user settings.
I am using a standard template for all the property Sets in the control:
Set(ByVal Value As Integer)
If my[-propertyname-] <> Value Then
my[-propertyname-] = Value
[Code]....
Whenever the user changes a property in the control using a procedure in the test app, the PropertyChanged event is causing a GET (settings value) and SET (control property) for every property of the control that has been persisted by the test app, including the property for which the user just made the change.
I can understand that the settings code is listening for PropertyChanged events in order to keep the settings values updated (and I can trace the Get (control property) and Set (settings value) that is executed immediately after the property changes), but why should it also hook in a complete re-initialisation of all control properties every time the user changes one control property?

I was just wondering what is the Quickest way to set up custom settings, every software has settings that are created and saved, Example a Hotel Software has rooms, roomtypes etc that are used in combination with other things, an Accounting software has Account type, Employee Software will have Full time,Parttime, or anything else, An Employee time Clock would have departments, Tax Brackets.

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 situation where I serialized data from a dataset to an xml file as a method of backup.I am trying to get the data deserialized back to the dataset.But for some reason, I cannot get the data to persist back to the DB.I don't receive any error messages either.The first chunk of code is the serialization code and the second chunk is the deserialization code.I can show that the deserialization back to the dataset is complete because this code in the 2nd block DataGridView2.DataSource = Movie_dbDataSet.movie_tb - displays the data in correct form all it is all there in the datagridview2.I call the update method but it does not get persisted back to the db.[code]

I am new at the ViewState and i am looking to see what values are stored within it. I know how to loop through an array to check for a value but i do not know how to go about doing that for a ViewState("test") property.
Let's say i have added "bob, tom, Jim" to a ViewState called ViewState("test"). I would like to be able to see if "tom" was in the ViewState("test"). If not then add it but if it exists already then skip it.[code]....

I thought I knew how ViewState worked, but I was wrong.I don't understand why the following ASPX page preserves the value typed into the TextBox after clicking on the Button?(ViewState is disabled for both the page and the TextBox.)

I have had a user of my VB.net web app complain he keeps getting an intermittent error message, causing him to crash out of the system.
Stack Trace:

System.Convert.FromBase64String(Strings) +0
System.web. UI. LosFormatter.Deserialize(String input) +25

It appears from the error message that the viewstate keeps becoming corrupt (see screen-dump below), but I don't understand why. He claims it happens every 2-3 minutes, but I've used the system a lot and have never experienced it.I should mention too that he is using the web-app in a very "non-standard" way. To achieve optimum speed he's actually using remote desktop, to connect to our server directly, and running it as localhost. ("Madness!"- yes, I know. I didn't make the decision.) That may not be relevant of course.

Is it possible to make the viewstate false of whole page including all controls at a time.I mean I don't want to set enableviewstate="false" for all controls..In the page directive of the aspx page I have made enableviewstate="false" but still viewstate of all the controls of the is enabled.. And what the EnableViewState="False"actually works within Page directive.

I agree that the best way to shorten the ViewState is to disable it on the ASP.Net controls that don't need it. Keeping it small from the beginning is a great habit.I have also heard that it is already compressed (although can be true... there are ways of compressing it even more, has described in this Stack Overflow question).
My question here is not if it should be compressed... is: when should ViewState be compressed?If we have a ViewState of 410 characters it will weight 410 bytes in a page, while a ViewState of 13.843 characters equals 13.5 KB.
13.5KB is a considerable weight already. And if I compress a CSS file that height 10KB, I think it is also worthy compressing a ViewState of 13.5KB, even if that means a little extra "thinking" on the server.
But is 410 bytes of ViewState worth the extra processing on the server?At what point is it worth compressing?

I have a form with its method being "get" that passes the variables and their values to the query string, respectively. However, it also passes the viewstate variable in the query string. Now, I have a very long viewstate value on the given page, and if passed in the query string, the viewstate variable will cause the page to error out, due to "too long of a query string" which happens to also be too long of a url.
I cannot merely remove the viewstate variable - I need it. But I need to pass the viewstate variable along via some method other than get when the form is submitted, while the other inputs of the form (the non-hidden inputs) are appended to the query string.

I'm having some problems in persisting the viewstate on postback for a Control (vb.net)
here's some code i've put in my control[code]...
I'm setting EnableViewState = "true" everywhere i can, but still no result. Do i really need to set those properties here. (ViewStateMode and EnableViewState) If not, where should i handle this and what is the difference between those properties?

Handles TextBox1.TextChanged, TextBox2.TextChanged
IsSaveRequired = True
End Sub
Protected Sub SaveButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles SaveButton.Click
If IsSaveRequired Then save required.
End If

I keep getting the following error message when I run my vb.net web app:The state information is invalid for this page and might be corrupted.After a good search, I came across this Microsoft page, which describes the problem exactly. The likely cause seems to be "scenario 2":[code]I appear to have prevented this error from happening by using EnableEventValidation="False" in the Page node of the markup as recommended here.

I have been reading up and trying to understand the difference viewstate and session and as i am only storing a database id i believe i have settled on Viewstate.
Am i right in saying that a viewstate never expires until the browser is closed? One of the issues i have with Sessions is that sometimes the people completling my websites forms can take and age to do so and the session can expire.

I have a gridview in asp.net using vb 2005. on " Protected Overrides Sub Render"some of the data in the columns gets modified. when i do a view source.. and look at a column1's values it says 0010. in the render i am taking a value of ab0010 and turning it into the 0010 that is seen in the view source.. later on, there is a button_click event that goes through each line of the gridview and grabs some values. Here I'm doing a CType(gvr.FindControl("column1"), Label).Text the value is coming back as ab0010. so the question is.. the view source shows something different than what is in the viewstate?

I've looked up ways to reduce the ViewState:
Viewstate Optimisations
Strategies for reducing ViewState size in asp.net
However, due to the situation I'm in, I need the quickest and most effective ways to reduce the ViewState size. The legacy system I'm working on is bloated and routinely has a ViewState that's 800Kb+ on multiple postbacks.
For example, I'm pretty sure populating drop down lists with 100+ items on multiple post backs is one of the culprits, correct?
Disabling the ViewStae entirely doesn't appear feasible. It breaks all of the controls, of which there are many, rendering the pages unusable. If this is the best approach, how should I go about handling all the broken controls?

I have written methods to override the LoadPageStateFromPersistenceMedium and SavePageStateToPersistenceMedium methods. now the problem is that i am using a masterpage, so how do i maintain using my masterpage and still inherit from System.Web.UI.Page?
Bear in mind that the .vb Code behind the masterpage already inherits System.Web.UI.MasterPage. Anybody know how i can "properly" override these methods in a MasterPage?

I'm having some issues with an Invalid Viewstate error and I can understand why it's happening but I don't know how to fix it so I'm hoping someone can help.
I have a page which is similar to this /story/?id=123 but I'm using a different page to Server.Transfer to this page.
So I've set up /info to Server.TransferRequest("/story/?id=123") and it works fine until the page does a postback to itself.
We have a login form on this page which simply reloads the page but when it does it seems to add /?id=123 onto the end of the URL so it ends up like this /info/?id=123 thus causing an Invalid Viewstate error.
I've already tried adding EnableViewStateMac="false" - this fixes the error but it doesn't log the user in as expected so it does not give the required result.
Is there a better way to redirect to my page other than Server.TransferRequest but still keeping the nice URL? - I don't want to response.redirect if I can avoid it.
