Session management on Pocket PC

ReinaldoCL

Hello,

I'm looking for a posibility to use session objects or cookies in a C#
program on Pocket PC, that use a web service method with session enabled
property. But the .NET Compact Framework doesn't support session objects and
cookies.

I're very pleased for an idea about how to implement this,

Reinaldo.

The Cookie Container class is not present on the .net Compact Framework.
However, http cookies are just http headers. You can manage the headers
yourself in order to keep session state with the server. I believe there is
an effort in opennetcf.org to retrofit a CookieContainer to .NET CF v1.1. I
don't know the status. See:
http://www.google.com/search?num=30&...Aopennetcf.org

Another way to do it is to "roll your own" session management, not depending
on HTTP Cookies.
Add an initial method that the client calls; when the server receives this
call, it creates a state instance, and returns a "handle" to the client,
maybe an Int32. The client then just passes that handle in all successive
calls.

This is basically the way a Google or Amazon webservice works today, If I am
not mistaken.

When the client is "done" with the conversation, it can call a Close()
webmethod.
You'd still need to expire server-side state resources in case the Close()
is never called.

Reality Check: Session Hijacking

by: mrbog | last post by:

Tell me if my assertion is wrong here: The only way to prevent session hijacking is to NEVER store authentication information (such as name/password) in the session. Well, to never authenticate a user from information you got from the session. Each secure app on a site must challenge the user for name and password, each and every time the user accesses it (not just once and then store it in the session). If a secure app is multi-page,...

Session Variables - why aren't novice developers warned?

by: BillE | last post by:

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...

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

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,...
