Session State

I am new to the whole MVC approach to web development.

How do you keep session state for a user, on the server, between http posts.

Examples: Login/Logout, Shopping cart content, etc.

Re: Session State

in controller use session

HttpSessionStateBase session = HttpContext.Session;

i have ex:

create login controller

public void Login(string id){

HttpSessionStateBase session = HttpContext.Session;

// check username , pass .

if(checkuser(){

session["login"] = true ;

....

}

create check login

public bool CheckLogin()
        {

            HttpSessionStateBase session = HttpContext.Session;

            if (session["Login"] == null)
            {
                return false;
            }
            else
            {
                return (bool)session["Login"];
            }

        }

}

Re: Session State

Is this session lifetime controlled the same as forms based asp.net apps.

I tried setting the timeout to 1, but the state seemed to persist beyond 1 minute.

Also, I couldn't find an event to catch or hook to know when the session has timed out. (i.e. to allow for a redirect)

Thanks

The ASP.NET HttpSessionState class provides a useful IsNewSession( ) method that returns true if a new session was created for this request. The key to detecting a session timeout is to also look for the ASP.NET_SessionId cookie in the request. If this is a new session but the cookie is present, this indicates a timeout situation. In order to implement this effectively for an entire web site, it is useful to utilize the Base Page concept described in a

Fun.

Re: Session State

what assemblies do you have to include for this code to work? I tried:

using System.Web;

using System.Web.SessionState;

without success.

Re: Session State

Have you tried HttpContext.Current.Session ?

Have you tried HttpContext.Current.Session ?

Do not use this - it is not possible to mock it in tests.

You usually need to write something like this in your Controller tests:

   HttpContextBase httpContext = (HttpContextBase)_mocks.CreateMock(typeof(HttpContextBase));
   HttpSessionStateBase session = (HttpSessionStateBase)_mocks.CreateMock(typeof(HttpSessionStateBase));
   ControllerContext cc = new ControllerContext(httpContext, new RouteData(), c);
   yourController.ControllerContext = cc;

Re: Session State

Hi All

I am working an web application in asp.net 2.0

when i am opening the page in one system is working fine

at the same time u open the same page in another system, the values in the variables of the page are changing according to the changes done in another system if i made changes then the changed values r reflected in another system too

might be both are working on same session even though they r on two different system

can any one can sort this out

Thanks in Advance
