Keeping objects between requests within the same session

Don
I have an ASP.NET program that references a VB.NET DLL. I had originally
planned for my DLL to put things in the HttpContext.Cur rent collection so
that the ASP.NET can access them throughout an entire session (according to
a tip I saw on a website somewhere), but it turns out that it only lasts for
the current page request. If another page is requested, the contents of
HttpContext.Cur rent are cleared. Except for the lack of proper scope,
HttpContext.Cur rent gives me the functionality that I need.

Is there another class I can throw this stuff into, similar to the way
HttpContext.Cur rent works, that will let the objects last for the entire
session and not just the current request? In ASP.NET there's a Session
class which has the right scope, but I don't know how -- or even if it's
possible -- to access that class from by VB.NET DLL.

I forgot to mention that I need to be able to recreate this class in a
Windows app. I mean to do this so as to make it seem like a person running
a Windows app is like one session at a website. Again, HttpContext.Cur rent
worked perfectly for everything...ex cept that it just had the wrong scope
for my ASP.NET application.

I tried using that, but when working with my Windows App accessing the DLL,
the HttpContext.Cur rent.Session resolves to Nothing. Is there some way to
initialize it? When I had my code working with just HttpContext.Cur rent, I
needed to put the following line at the start of my Windows app:

HttpContext.Cur rent = New HttpContext(Not hing, Nothing)

to initialize it, so to speak (I imagine this is explicitly doing what, in a
way, the environment is doing for my ASP.NET program). I don't know what to
do to initialize HttpContext.Cur rent.Session at the start of my Windows app,
though.

Hi All I've noticed on quite a few ASP sites that when they have a 'MyAccount' section they transfer the site to https and then when you have logged into your account successfully and gone back to the majority of the site you move back to http whilst still being logged in.

I posted a few days ago concerning requests being blocked from a main window after a popup window had initiated a file download. Apparently this has to do with the fact that asp.net or iis serialize all requests from the same session. Further requests from the same session are being queued until the download is complete. So, is there any way to override this? Is there anyway to tell asp.net to not serialize same session requests? Is...

All, I'm new to ASP development and I have a basic design question: Is it ok to store business objects to session variables or is there a better way to keep object information? For example, if a user logs onto the website, a user object is created that stores their full name, email address, street address, phone, etc. This object also has methods to do 'other' things such as validations, counters,

Due to the behaviour of a particular COM object, I need to ensure that a request for a particular ASP page is finalized before another request for the page is processed. Does IIS have a way to ensure that subsequent requests will be queued until the current request is completed? If not, can IIS be configured to use seperate processes to satisfy requests for a nominated ASP page? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have a problem where I have two requests (i.e. two different windows that are using the same session) that are accessing the session collection. The requests will need more time on the server, but I get the problem that the two sessions are not getting updated values from each requests. Is this by design or is there any solution to do this? -- Best regards | Schöne Grüße

Hi, all. Need help with what seems to be either connection, or threading problem in my ASP.NET 2.0 application. The gist of the problem is this: IHttpHandler in my application serves an HTML page that has two images (image A and image B) in it. Once the HTML page is served, expected behavior is this: 1) receive request for image A, 2) receive request for image B almost at the same time as for A,
