Session Variables in ASP.Net

Hi all

I've got a .Net site that has 3 session variables...the variables should persist over 23 unique insert pages, 23 update, and 23 "view total" pages...
And the problem is once I get past one page, the session vars disappear

The logic is
1. logon = set a session var to the email addres
2. redirect to a "main page" that uses the email sess var in a query to get the UserID in the database
This is successful because I have the user id sess var displayed on the page

now, if I do other stuff, like go to a different insert or update page and then navigate back to my main page, the session var is gone

and from the main page, there is an "update my info" that leads to a page that has a query that should be using the UserID session var, and I can see the session var on the page, but then when I go to the update page....it doesn't catch the session var in the query

I'm at wits end...I've been up 2 days (I know many of you know this feeling) help

==============
The session vars are set on the page load event just like the DMX tutorial says it should be..
Does a .Net form actually have to post back to itself to set the variable
Does it work to set the sess var on page load then do a response.redire ct to another page? Shouldn't the variable still persist

HELP!!!!

Hello, I have a session variable in a login page. Then I go to a form page where I uses the ProfileID and the UserID. Then I go to a result page where I would like to use the UserID as a filter, but I can't get the value is stored in it. How can I do that? Thanks a lot!

A particular page seems to be having issues with correctly setting Session variables. I am setting a couple of session variables on the Page_Unload event.

However, on postback, these variables are no longer in Session. All Session variables that were set previous to that particular...

I've come from the old ASP camp where session variables were not used. When i started using ASP.NET in 2001, I started using them again because it was ok from what I'd read. I've been merrily using Session variables for three years now and i'm entering a project with my new boss who has never quite come around that session variables are ok. What's the concensus here. How can i convince him that they are ok in ASP.NET. OR

I have been using the default session state (InProc) and have found that I have been loosing my information after a period of time (normally 20 minutes). Is there anyway to find out how much more time I have on a session? If I do a refresh, does reset the session clock? Do you have have to go to another page to reset the session timeout or will a postback also do it? This is important as we have a few pages that a user

When a user opens a new IE browser window using File-New-Window the integrity of an application which relies on session state is COMPLETELY undermined. Anyone who overlooks the fact that File-New-Window creates an instance of IE in the same process with the same SessionID as the parent window is in big trouble. This fundamentally restricts the usefullness of using session state management. I probably missed it somewhere - can...

Some ASP.NET applications use Session Variables extensively to maintain state. These should be re-written to use viewstate, hidden fields, querystring, etc. instead. This is because if a user opens a new IE window with Ctrl-N or File-New-Window, BOTH WINDOWS SHARE THE SAME SESSION VARIABLES. This cannot be prevented.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
