Finally I solved the issue of session handling in Android. Android cant handle the session itself(which a simple browser can) so we have to handle it explicitly. I changed the code for http connection a bit. Created an instance of DefaultHttpClient in the first Activity when connection established. public static DefaultHttpClient httpClient; For the first … Read more
Here is a decent FAQ on asp.net state: http://www.eggheadcafe.com/articles/20021016.asp From that Article, here is some information on StateServer: In a web farm, make sure you have the same MachineKey in all your web servers. See KB 313091 on how to do it. Also, make sure your objects are serializable. See KB 312112 for details. For … Read more
You can collect data about sessions in global.asax events Session_Start and Session_End (only in in-proc settings): private static readonly List<string> _sessions = new List<string>(); private static readonly object padlock = new object(); public static List<string> Sessions { get { return _sessions; } } protected void Session_Start(object sender, EventArgs e) { lock (padlock) { _sessions.Add(Session.SessionID); } … Read more
Session.Abandon() destroys the session and the Session_OnEnd event is triggered. Session.Clear() just removes all values (content) from the Object. The session with the same key is still alive. So, if you use Session.Abandon(), you lose that specific session and the user will get a new session key. You could use it for example when the … Read more
A cookie is a bit of data stored by the browser and sent to the server with every request. A session is a collection of data stored on the server and associated with a given user (usually via a cookie containing an id code)
You could make your own ControllerFactory and DummyTempDataProvider. Something like this: public class NoSessionControllerFactory : DefaultControllerFactory { protected override IController GetControllerInstance(Type controllerType) { var controller = base.GetControllerInstance(controllerType); ((Controller) controller).TempDataProvider = new DummyTempDataProvider(); return controller; } } public class DummyTempDataProvider : ITempDataProvider { public IDictionary<string, object> LoadTempData(ControllerContext controllerContext) { return new Dictionary<string, object>(); } public void … Read more
I would like to share my magic. Actually, no, its not yet magical.. We ought to test and evolve the code more. I only tested these code in with-cookie, InProc session mode. Put these method inside your page, and call it where you need the ID to be regenerated (please set your web app to … Read more
Session State contains information that is pertaining to a specific session (by a particular client/browser/machine) with the server. It’s a way to track what the user is doing on the site.. across multiple pages…amid the statelessness of the Web. e.g. the contents of a particular user’s shopping cart is session data. Cookies can be used … Read more
Sorry to say that, but the only way to execute asynchronously your code and use session variables is to make your totally custom session solution – and I mean totally custom and disable the asp.net session entirely. Basic tips to make your session: You have one cookie connected with the users data The data is … Read more
I came up with a pretty awesome solution to this. What I’ve implemented was when user “Bob” logs in from their PC, and then the same user “Bob” logs in from another location, the log-in from the first location (their PC) will be killed while allowing the second log-in to live. Once a user logs … Read more
