session variables don't persist

Hi

Some mystery. Until I updated my windows xp I could preserve session
variables through aspx pages. Now the session variables are getting lost. I
cannot preserve them. I have explicitly modified the web.config file to
enableSessionSt ate, but still the variables are getting lost.
I found a knowledgbase article 316112 - PRB Session Variables Do Not Persist
Between Requests After You Install Internet Explorer Security Patch
MS01-055.htm
That explains that it is due to the security patch and suggest to change the
servername. But is there another way to get aroudn this problem?

Yes, the article states that you can use IP address instead of server name.

I've noticed that session variables will persist on Mac IE even after all browser windows have been closed. One must quit the program to clear the session variables. This presents a security risk for my session variable based security scheme. Basically, the risk is that a user will login to my site, close the window when done and allow someone else to come up to the machine, go back to my site and be logged into the previous user's...

I am losing Session variables, but only those that are set in the page previous to a redirect to a secure page. Anyone seen ANY situation where Session variables just "disappear?" Note that OTHER session variables are still intact !?! TIA, Larry Woods

Hi, I'm new to .NET and have a question about the use of static variables vs. session variables in a web form in C#. Instead of using a session variable to hold a string to persist during datagrid paging. Can I use a static variable? Also, if I use a static variable is that variable shared by everyone that brings up the aspx page? Ex, if 4 people are viewing the aspx page is an instance of the static variable created for each of the...

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...

Ok, I know that .net inherently does not share session data across asp.net projects, but is there any decent work around to this. We already have a big chunk of our application using the asp.net session object (using state service). I'd like to start breaking out our functionality into component projects, but I'd like to get this session issue worked out first. Any ideas?? I found this article , but it sounds like kind of a pain.

Hello: My problem is that in my login page, I authenticate the user and set a session variable: Session("strname") = dr("userlname") & ", " & dr("userfname") & " " & dr("usermi") FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(lngID, False) and then redirect to another page. On that page, when I try: Response.Write(Session("strname")) Response.Write(Page.User.Identity.Name)

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.

Hello again all, I've finished my whole application and now I don't like the whole session variables that I am using.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.

But I'm wondering if it's possible to do the same thing, with 2 Pfsense firewalls...
