Server.Transfer in HttpModule losing Session

I have an application built on virtual pages, where the url is
intercepted and a different page is built according to the url. In
order to also use forms authentication, I had a Server.Transfer call in
a custom HttpModule, called by AuthenticateReq uest. The problem is that
now I want to access session variables that are set on the
application's start, but calling Server.Transfer inside of
AuthenticateReq uest loses reference to the session. Calling
Server.Transfer inside of PreRequestHandl erExecute works (the session
has been set up), but only when a corresponding physical page exists to
force the event to fire.

Is there a way to force PreRequestHandl erExecute to fire when there is
no physical page (after the session is set), or is there a way to
maintain the session when calling server.transfer in the
AuthenticateReq uest handler?

thanks,
matt

I have been writing ASP.NET apps since the RTM build and have never seen this. I built a simple app that uses session variables on my DEV laptop. All runs well. I have a simple toggle routine that checks the status of a Session variable. I keep losing the value of the variable. When I trace the page it is there, but it is gone next postback. Also, I use three tier objects and store my DataManager object in a session variable. It is...

Hi There! Is it possible to use HttpModule to replace the built-in ASP.NET Session object? I want to write a HttpModule that will handle storing and retrieving of session values from an external database. For example, when a page set values to Session object such as Session("somevar")=1 then I want my HttpModule to get notified and store the value into the external database. The same for "getting" the variable, I want my own...

Hi There! How do I make the Objects in the custom made HttpModule available to ASPX page or ASCX controls without requiring an object reference? For example, SessionState HttpModule made the Session object available throughout the ASP.NET application without needing to have a reference to SessionState HttpModule. So how do I expose my own objects from my own custom HttpModule available throughout the ASP.NET application?

It seems that my site is losing session information when using Server.Transfer. I have a page called PictureGallery.aspx. It takes an argument which is an index id, so it would look like PictureGallery.aspx?id=30 to display gallery 30. In this way I have a database driven picture gallery. To improve indexing, I put code in Global.asax to allow me to get to the same page with a url like this: Pictures_30.aspx. There is no...

I've got an page (LOGIN.ASPX) that receives the user's login information. During the page load, it checks the credentials against a database and, if validation is successful, creates an instance of an object that stores the user's basic profile data (username, user type, associated sales region, etc.). I've been taking this user info and placing it in the Session object like so... Session = user;

I need to be able to move from one web app on my server to another on the same server and preserve the session state. I have played with server.transfer but I get an error saying I can't do this. How can I accomplish this. I don't think redirects with session state being passed in the url makes any sense from a security standpoint. -- Barry

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,...
