View 1 RepliesI'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

but i only want to check if there is anything in session2...
I tried this:

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:

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 am still new to using session state, i want to convert page name into and integer according to a database table a function then compares "X" and "Y" to check if a user have the right to view this page..i know this is not the best way of managing website security, but it is like "training on how to use the session".[code]
View 1 RepliesI 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.

Is there any way to save a form window state including all of the controls etc that it has on it in their current state? I'm having to write long functions for each control just to save and reload from a config file, so I'm spending more time on user saved settings than on my actual project.
View 3 Repliesthe following web.config file is placed in a specific sub-folder on a website. It will allow the user John.Doe to access the pages inside the folder but will deny anonymous users

My website allows users to type a code into a textbox. If a recognized code is entered, the page will refresh and display a welcome message to that user, otherwise an error message will come up. I am putting their manually entered code into a session so that their name can be pulled up. I can't get the session to stay between pages.
I have been told to make sure EnableSessionState="true" but that doesn't work on master pages.I've been told to check IIS settings, but I can't because I don't have permissions to it. Tried SessionState cookieless="UseUri" and somehow that created a never-ending redirect loop.I have debugged the functions and they DO return values. The textbox DOES go away when I enter a code and the welcome message gets displayed with the user's first and last name, so I know that works.I've checked to make sure there is no Session.Abandon code anywhere in the site.
I added a Watch to every instance of Session("IB") on the page and they are filled correctly when I enter a code into the textbox. Then when I click on a link to move to another page, the debugger stops on the very first line in my Page_Load, Dim ib As String = CType(Session.Item("IB"), String) and all of my watched IB variables immediately turn into Nothing.
Here is the code behind for the master page:
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Imports System.Data.OleDb
Partial Class MasterPage
[code]....
More:sessionState has been changed and the site still acts like it has been, the ConnectionString must not have anything to do with the problem with the 2nd database losing it's session. It's gotta be something in the code behind, I can't think of what else could be wrong with the web.config.
<sessionState mode="InProc" timeout="20"></sessionState>
We also found out that the session variable is still there, it just won't display the user's information when it's connected to the back up database connection.
I'd like to be able to get and set the different information for a user in Active Directory on Windows Server 2003 under Environment and Session tabs through a VB.Net application. I am familiar with System.DirectoryService but I can not find the correct attributes for these particular tabs. For example, I'd like to check "Connect Printer at logon" or set "Idle session limit".I've found the "ms-TS-Connect-Printer-Drives Attribute" and other attributes like it but they are only implemented on Server 2008.
View 1 RepliesBackground - I'm trying to populate a drop down list with state information from a database. I'd like the full state name to be the option and the state abbreviation to be the value. Example:
<option value="AL">ALABAMA</option>
Current Progress - The full state names and abbreviations already exist in the DB. I've successfully populated the DDL with full state names from the DB. Here's the code I've used to do this (minus stuff I've deemed irrelevant).Model Context (generated from template):
Partial Public Class BrokerCRMEntities
Public Property States() As DbSet(Of State)
End Class
State Model (generated from template):
Partial Public Class State
[Code]...
Question - In addition to populating full state names like I've done above, I'd also like to populate the value of the select options in the same DDL with the state abbreviations in my DB/model. How is this done?
I'm calling a class function in a thread function. I'm using invoke method to send a value to a progressbar in the main form and I don't know how to do that in an other class function called by the thread function.
My goal is to send a value to a progressbar to the main form from the thread function and even from the function called by the thread function.
My code:

The question is how can i read back the contents of the list, stored in the Session?I mean something like...

When trying to open it manually, my currentDirectory was of the child, not the parent (strange how it did not throw an exception - it wouldn't have been able to find the config file it just silently used the machine.config.

Console.WriteLine(Properties.Settings.Default.SomeValue);

I have a WCF service with a setting I created in the WCF application property editor (settings tab).It has created something like the following property in MySettings class in the Settings.Designer.vb file. Notice the DefaultSettingValueAttribute is set to "This is the OLD value". That's my value for local testing.
<Global.System.Configuration.ApplicationScopedSettingAttribute(), _
Global.System.Diagnostics.DebuggerNonUserCodeAttribute(), _
Global.System.Configuration.DefaultSettingValueAttribute("This is the OLD value")> _
[code]....
The problem is after restarting the WCF service (rebooting the server machine completely), it never reads the new value. It continues to use the old value that was set as the default value in the designer file.I think this must have to do with file permissions, but I don't see anything in the event log that indicates a problem. It's like the WCF service isn't even trying to read the web.config file.Why isn't the service reading the settings value from the web.config file?
