Accessing Session state in Web Service from Background thread

JEB
I know that with Web Services, you should be doing everything in a stateless
environment. However, I have three methods out of over 100 that need state.
I have the client cookie container, WebMethod with Session enabled = true,
the works. However, my issue is I am running logic on a background thread in
a managed thread pool and I cannot access the session. I cannot pass all the
data into the thread either. Is there a way to access
HttpContext.Cur rent.Session from a background thread? Everytime I check the
HttpContext.Cur rent, it is equal to null. Any help is appreciated.

But then, what is the current session in the background thread? If
there is no request at this time - there is no current session. If
there's two or more concurrent requests, the "current" session is
ambiguous.

What you should do perhaps, is to have an array in a singleton or
static object. When a session starts, add the Session to the array
(using a critical section to protect this code). When a session's done,
throw it out of the array. Access this array from the background
thread, again, through the critical section.

I have a very odd situation here. I have an administration page, where based on a users permissions, a recordset is called from the SQL server which has a list of paths to "Module Menus". Each of these menus are then placed into the page by calling Server.Execute(rs_Modules("ModulePath")). This works fine for up to 15 "menus" After that, the session variables that were set (not including those called by Global.ASA) are no longer set. ...

Hi, I understand that there are 3 modes in which I can configure the SessionStateModule. What I need is an out of process Session State store with fail over support.

However, this mode does not give me the fail over support. Is there anything that I can do the enhance the...

In the web.config file for my application, in the <sessionState> section I have set timeout="120" (in minutes), but session state variables in my application seem to be expiring in about 5 minutes. Any idea what could cause this? I have the mode="InProc" attribute set for <sessionState>. I know that some people have solved the problem of session variables timing out too quickly by changing that attribute, but I cannot use...

Hello; I use in my web application FormsAuthentication. Also I use Session state (InProc). When a user logged in, I can read Session parameters. (For example Session). Problem is that, when user close the browser window then open a new browser, FormsAuthentication reads from cookie and user logs in. Althought user logged in, session parameter is null.

I have an application which runs in a non-secure environment. I also have an application that runs in a secure environment (both on the same machine). Is there any way to share the session data for this? Most of the site allows the user to add things to a cart (non-secure), once they choose to check-out, I need this information which was stored in the session to be read by the payment page(secured). Hope this makes sense. It's probably...

Hi I've been experimenting with managing state using the Session object. I've created a simple WS with a couple of methods, one which sets a string value, another that retrieves it.

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,...
