Does session variable shared accross different browser? If not is there away that I can share information accross browser similar to the functionality of caching but the scope is wider.
View 3 RepliesI've taken over the maintenance of the website (ASP.NET VB) and on one particular page I noticed the below code
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Public Shared UserNumber As String
Private Sub Page_Init(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Init
[Code]....
My question is whether the variable UserNumber can be accessed or changed by any other user than the current one?
I seem to be drawing a blank. I'd like to create a "shared" variable that is shared with all instances of a class but not classes that inherit from it. For example.Class A: Shared list As New List(Of String): list.Add("A")
Class B Inherits A: list.Add("B")Class C Inherits B: list.Add("C")The end result I'd like is that any instance of A has just A in the list. Any instance of B has A and B in the list. Any instance of C has A, B, and C in the list. I can accomplish it by creating Instance variables, but I have to construct the list for each instance of a class. I'd like to construct it once for a specific point in the Hierarchy and then share it accross other instances of that class.
Is there a way to do a Session.Abandon() when the user just kills the session by X'ing out with the little red X box in the upper right corner? I am seeing situations where after an "X out", the user comes back in and it seems like session variables are still present? I guess explorer keeps them intact? (I am unsure of this).
View 2 RepliesMany of our users, internal and external, start our web application. Then at some later point, they open a new window from within the browser. They want to have 2 independent sessions of the application running. However, by doing it this way they are actually using the same session data.
Is there a way, in code, to determine if there is another browser window open with the same session?
We're using VS 2008, C# and/or VB.Net.
COMBINING MY RESPONSES FROM BELOW:
Maybe I'm saying this wrong. When they open a second window and change it to a different widget number, and then go back to the original window, on the next post-back it will be using the second window's widget number, not its own. We are using IE7.
I've created a browser which has become quite popular at school and my friends are murdering me about 1 thing: Session restore. As in, you quit, tell it to remember your tabs and then retrieve the tabs at next startup. But I'm stumped. How do I do this? It seems impossible at the moment.

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.

I programmed my website using visual basic code (via microsoft expression web) and need to post information to a remote location using a php page. How do I take variables from my visual basic code and transfer them to my php code? I was thinking sessions would work, but I haven't figured it out yet.

View 6 RepliesMy vb.net application needs to use a session variable. I don't really know how to use it in ASP.net. I've been trying to use what my books have, but I can't get this label to work. I need the user input to be validated against the database and if their code is in the database, the textbox should disappear and a label will appear saying Welcome. The way I wrote it, I get an error saying the server tag is not well formed and in the codebehind it says that the ID of my label is not declared. Can anyone spot any problems with the code I wrote?

I am using ASP.NET. It is possible to create a session variable on page load just for a particular page/url? The problem that I have is: The user comes to page 1 and the session variable becomes A, then he opens page 2 in a new tab and the session variable because B on both page 1 and page 2. So when the user needs the session variable on page 1 it does not work because the variable have changed!

[code].....
I'm using a compiled .dll provided by someone else -- I know little about it, other than it has a session variable that I must access in a way that is strange to me. Not sure what to call it -- have googled for words that I thought might be right, but so far no success.
View 2 RepliesHere is the situation: User logs in via username/password stored in an MSSQL database If the user is authenticated, the system makes a session variable with username/SHA1'd password and boolean if the user is logged in or not (for subsequent pages) I need to be able to destroy the session variable. I want a confirmation box as well.
This is what I have so far:
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
function doLogout() {
[CODE]...
Since it is an ajax request won't reload the page (the functionality works fine, the request destroys the session), I think I need a different approach to do this. I would really like to be able to do it all in ASP.NET if possible.
I keep a Session variable when the user is logged in. So that when the user click on btnLogout it must clear all my sessions and Log the User out for GOOD!!!
It does clear my sessions but if i click the BACK button in IE right after i logged out then i am still logged in! Meaning it goes back to screen where the user was still logged into.
My code on log out
protected void btnLogout_Click
{
Session.Clear();
Session.Abandon();
[Code]....
Is there maybe an option in code i can do that will disable the user from pressing the BACK button in the Web Browzer?
Im trying to grasp session varibles, i understand what they are etc but i would like to know how to define a type for each session variable.Iv written it like this
Session("Title") = txtTitleContent.Text
How can i tell it what type of value is going to be in it, because at the moment im only playing about with strings, but what if i have an integer and want to pass it back to the back end to save it will throw an error saying "conversion from string to integer is not valid" should i use Cint to deal with this?
As the title states, I have a session variable that is set during a login script with asp.net and vb.net code-behind. Can I call a javascript function when a link is clicked that will destroy that session variable? If it is possible, can I use jQuery to make that process easier?

I'm using some session variables to store and pass data across several pages of an ASP.Net application. The behavior is a bit unpredictable though. [Code] Ok so far so good, on a normal page load. If the user completes the form action, hits the next page, and decides OH NO, i needed to change field xyz, and clicks back, corrects the data, then submits, the session variable is showing as NULL. Why would a cached session behave this way? I'm not destroying/clearing the variable, unless I fail to understand the scope of session variables.
View 1 RepliesI have a session variable in my asp.net application. The session variable holds a value from the database, that reflects a customized HTML color value.In my application, I have an asp button with server side code
btnContinue.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.FromName(Session("ContinueColor"))
Issue: However, when I run the application, the color value is not being reflected in the button. I did double check, and the session variable does hold the correct value.There are other objects, that use session variables to display colors, and they are working fine.
Update: When I force a color "btnContinue.BackColor = Drawing.Color.Blue", that works perfectly fine.
I have 2 web pages. In the first webpage I have a text box which takes an user input.The number of controls rendered in the second page is based on the user input in the first page.I am storing the user input from the first page as a session variable [code]Now, I wish to use this session variable in the next page for initializing a global variable and what I tried to do is Dim num_Invitees As Integer = CType (Session("NoOfControls ToGenerate"),Integer)But this gives me a NullReferenceException.Can someone please suggest me what exactly I should be doing in order to use the session variable to initialize a global variable and also why the session variable's value is null while using outside a function but works fine when used inside a function?

Currently, in my web application I have a listbox that gets populated client side (via java script) with a set of ids -- we'll call this page 1. Server side, I am populating a variable with the ids and passing it through a query string to another page -- we'll call it page 2. Now, I have a previous button on page2 which allows me to go to page 1. I'm trying to figure out how to repopulate the listbox on page 1 with the values previously selected. I was thinking of just storing the set of ids in a session variable and using it client side to repopulate the list box. Can anyone advise on how to access a session variable client side?[code]...
