In latest release of Ajax .NET (1.0), after any post back event (e.g. LinkButton On Click, DropDownList change with AutoPostBack enabled, etc.) an error throw and caught in the Application_Error() method of Global.asax.

This did not occur in ANY of the previous CTP or RC releases of Atlas/Ajax .NET libraries. Does anyone what is going on and why the new release would throw this error ?  

 
Error message below:

Hi All,

Please can someone suggest me a good site or link dealing with repeater control in detail.

Like - how to use , various events, how to embed controls in repeater and later access them from code. (asp.net and c#)

Similarly looking for some good links for collections and how to use them (c#)

thanks a ton,

Happy buddy

I think your issue is about where you are setting cookies - but not knowing your setup there I'll point you to a decent link at least and perhaps that will shed light on your situation.  http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=74202

Hopefully that helps - otherwise would probably need code (specifically where you are setting the cookies if you are handling that in code - which should be the only time that misconfig of cookies should occur...)

Repeater controls:

Thanks a lot.

I understand your point, however, as far as I am aware there is no code we have written which writes/modifies cookies on postback, the code which is writing to the cookie I believe is internal to .NET.

What is strange is there was no code change, the only change was the update from Ajax .NET RC 1.0 to Ajax .NET 1.0. If I roll back to use Ajax .NET RC 1.0, the this "Server cannot modify cookies after HTTP header have been sent." error does not throw.

From further investigation, seems that this issue relates to http://forums.asp.net/1/1546340/ShowThread.aspx

We believe that Response has already been posted back to client browser, before the roleManager (where cacheRolesInCookie="true" from web.config) attempts to modify the client cookie and update the use role.

The solution would be to set cacheRolesInCookie="false", to correct this error from being thrown.

Thank you! Setting cacheRolesInCookies="false" did the trick for me.

With kind regards,

Hi everyone,

This is now a known issue in AJAX 1.0. We've logged a bug on it and will try to address it in a future release. Thanks for all the feedback!

kevyau, thanks for that piece of information. Even though it resolves the issue, there would be a reason why it throws that exception. I will try looking in to the cause, unless its a bug in role manager.

 If you come across any information, kindly post it. Thanks again.

Cheers,

Sameer.

 

I am using asp.net 1.1 and handcoding javascript using the xmlhttprequestobject to do some ajax updating of a dropdownlist etc

I got the same error message and setting cacheRolesInCookie="false" solved the problem.

Thanks!

thanks very much,I got the problem too  ,and with setting the cacheRolesInCookie=false,i resovle the problem already!

I had the same problem but after some more digging and testing I found that adding a longer timeout to the roles cookie fixed the problem as well, plus you don't take the performance hit for going to your database and getting the user roles information for every request.

 I used cookieTimeout="720" because we validate for 8 hours anyway.
