Hi,
I was wondering how I can find out the time user takes on an aspx page
before hitting a submit button. Since there is that whole server-side
vs. client-side issue, I was thinking I can store the current time in
a variable on server side, and when the user hits submit, inside the
method invoked I take the difference of the time now and the
previously stored time.
It all makes sense right? And I'm new with ASP.NET coding, so I'd
appreciate if someone can show me a little bit of code so I know which
libraries to use and the syntax.
Thank you in advance.

Your point of server / client side is good and would lead me to do the
timing on the client side. If you are testing how long a user is
looking at a page, it would be unfair to count the download and
tranfer times. Using Javascript, set a variable on pageload and on
submit, determine the time between now and the saved time. Pass that
value back to the server for processing and recording.
Hi Asad,
If you want to do it on the server-side, you could set the time when the
page loads and store it in a viewstate. Then, when the postback happens (the
user clicked the button), you can calculate the time of the postback minus
the original time. All this is done in a TimeSpan.
Here's the idea:
Private Sub Page_Load _
(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArg s) _
Handles MyBase.Load
If Not IsPostBack Then
viewstate("star ttime") = Now
Else
Dim tmspan As TimeSpan
tmspan = Date.Now.Subtra ct _
(CType(viewstat e("starttime" ), DateTime))
Label1.Text = tmspan.TotalSec onds.ToString
End If
End Sub
<form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">
<P>
<asp:Label id="Label1" runat="server"> Label</asp:Label></P>
<P>
<asp:Button id="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button"></asp:Button></P>
</form>
Does this help?

One way to do it in concept (code not sure)
have a hidden input box on the form.
on the onload event fire some javascript that updates this input box each
second.
then when the form is submitted you simply check the value in that box.

I've implemented a countdown timer for a tutorial web page that should
give the user 45 minutes to complete the test, only to find that the
timer is slowly 'losing' time. On average, it actually takes an extra
35 seconds, but has taken an extra 2.5 minutes in some cases. Any
ideas what might be the cause? And more importantly - the fix? Code

Hello,
I've been reading that ASP.NET serialises (ie. processes one at a time) HTTP
requests if two simultaneous requests need to access the same session state.
It also makes note that ASP.NET tries to reacquire a lock on the session
state every 1/2 second until the timeout is reached, and then it will
forcibly release the previous users lock and take the lock for itself.
What is this timeout figure?

I've got a website that may, on occasion, display a large list of items in a
bulletedlist control. On the client side, it takes about 4 seconds to get a
response that weighs in at over 1mb. It takes less than a second to display
those nodes. That part is fine
The problem is that when the user causes a postback, the browser appears to
lock up for anywhere between 10-20 seconds, at which point it renders the
response from the server.
