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 am trying to create a locked down browser for the employees at my work to use at a kiosk. I need to prevent the user from getting out of the app. I have figured out how to prevent them from closing it by pressing alt-f4 or ctrl-f4 but I would like to also prevent alt-esc, ctrl-esc, alt-tab, and the windows key. I am new to windows application development but have experience in web vb.net. I am using VB.NET 2010 express.

View 1 Repliesfor example i have this code :
Sub Month()
Dim Conn As New Data.OracleClient.OracleConnection
Conn.Open()
Try
Dim Cmd As New Data.OracleClient.OracleCommand
With Cmd
[Code]...
What will happen to the datareader when the Connection is closed ( Conn.close)
Will the Cursor that is used by the datareader be freed ? or will it stay open ?
If the cursor that is used by the datareader is still open , when will it be automatically closed ? or should i just closed it manually ?
Will it cause the dreaded "ORA-01000: maximum open cursors exceeded" ?
We plan on selling an application that I've made and we want to be able to force the user to buy a 1-year license for it. And of course after that 1-year we want the program to stop working and force the user to purchase another license.
I've seen many things in VB.NET with certificates/licensing but I'm just not familiar with them to be able to take it any further. And right now I don't have the labor to spend hours messing around with it.
I have user log in logic in my web app. after successful log in, i set the user id in Session, so i can keep track of the user. and in my master file page load event, i do
Session.timeout = 60
so session should timeout after an hour. but my session times out at around 10 - 20 minutes. What am i doing wrong? i bet it's obvious.
My Asp.net Session Expires immediately even though i did the settings in web.config file,
<system.web>
<sessionState timeout="2880" mode="InProc" cookieless="UseCookies"></sessionState>

View 2 RepliesI 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.)

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.
View 3 RepliesI 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 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 have Dim a(15) as integer i wont to save this array in Viewstate .

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.
