  SESSION INFO

  Mar 27, 2008 04:15 PM|LINK

  I have a website with a global.asax showing me current users online on the actual website.

  Is it possible to get this session information in another application that resides on the same server?

   What I'm trying to accomplish really is the following:

  I do not want to reveal session info to the public so I do not want to display it on the site.
  We have a separate web application which is the admin panel for this website.
  I would like to show in our admin panel the total number of sessions on the website and the total number if signed in users.
  So basically grab global.asax info outside of current application.

  Is this even possible?

  Thank you in advance,
  Eleonora

  Hi

  if there are a separate virtual directories ( separate app) , you can't share the application data ,

  and so you need to store the users stats in a database table so that you can access it in the admin Panel website ....

  Thanks for the quick response.

   How do i go about storing sessions in a database?

  Something I have never done before, so I just need to understand the concept.

  Thank you,

  I mean you can store the number of users , userNames , and not the whole user sessions ,

  so just store what you need ....

   On sessionStart in  Global.asax, you can increment(update) the number of users online in your database table  ,

  and on sessionEnd , you can decrement it ...
