Problem with public static hashtable in C#

77 New Member
am using Visual Studio 2003, .Net Framework 1.1, C#. I get a SystemNullRefer enceException when trying to do a hashtable.add(s tring,string) from a login page, and I do not understand why because all of the other data items from the Global.asax.cs are accessible in my pages. The key and value are not null (according to the watch window), so it is something else. This is likely something retarded, so I apologize in advance. It is my first attempt at a hash table. I am trying to store userid and sessionid for logging, statistics, troubleshooting (lol), etcetera.

Code Snippit from Global.asax.cs
public class Global : System.Web.Http Application
{

private System.Componen tModel.IContain er components = null;
public static string DatabaseConnect ionString;
public static int NumberOfConnect ions;
public static int TotalConnection sServiced;
public static DateTime DateStarted;
public static int FailedLoginAtte mpts;
public static int SuccessfulLogin Attempts;
public static string ErrorLogFile;
public static int TotalPagesServe d;
public static Hashtable SessionTable;
public static Hashtable SessionTableSyn c;

public Global()
{
InitializeCompo nent();

DatabaseConnect ionString=(stri ng ) System.Configur ation.Configura tionSettings.Ap pSettings["DBNameAndP ath"];
NumberOfConnect ions=0;
TotalConnection sServiced=0;
FailedLoginAtte mpts=0;
SuccessfulLogin Attempts=0;
ErrorLogFile=(s tring ) System.Configur ation.Configura tionSettings.Ap pSettings["ErrorLogFi le"];
TotalPagesServe d=0;
DateStarted=Sys tem.DateTime.No w;
Hashtable SessionTable = new Hashtable();
Hashtable SessionTableSyn c = Hashtable.Synch ronized(Session Table);


Code Snippit from login.aspx----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Session.Add("Us erID",sUserid);
Session.Add("Fu llName",sFullna me);
Global.Successf ulLoginAttempts ++;
//System.NullRefe renceException on the next line
Global.SessionT ableSync.Add(sU serid,Session.S essionID); //tried with .ToString() also

I'm not trying to be dense, but I do have more of a procedural background than OO.

Thanks in advance,

Nick

What's the value of session.session ID? The thing that you have to think of in this situation is, I've got a problem how can I debug it? 1st POC the line that throws the exception, then work backwards. HTH.

Did .net1.1 applications not have a Session object built in to use?

Thanks for the advice. SessionID is an alphanumeric value. Both the key and value I'm trying to insert are alphanumeric actually. It seems like the login.aspx cannot find the Global.SessionT ableSync hashtable. I am very confused because other items (int and string) are accessible using Global.variable name. What is POC?

There is a Session Object in .Net 1.1.

So then I am confused, why do you appear to be implementing your own?

Gotcha, I want to store all active sessions and associated userids in a hashtable. When Session_End, I delete the key and userid value. Session_Start occurs before the login.aspx is posted back to the server.

I have a loop that is set to run as long as the arraylist is > 0. at the beginning of this loop I grab the first object and then remove it.

I would like to remove each match from the arraylist as I find them to speed things up and so that they don't get checked again. If I try...

i'm a bit confused here, a pointer is something aiming to an object, but a static class is not an object, nevertheless i would like to have the possibility of doing something like handling an HashTable and getting from it a pointer to a static class : ( (classStatic)myHash("classStatic") ).staticMethod() ....is this possible, or i'm i short on reading?

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