Session State

[Nhi Lam]

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.
The "SQL Server Mode" seems to be it, but I heard there is
quite a bit of degradation in performance for using this
mode. My next option is the "State Server Mode". However,
this mode does not give me the fail over support. Is there
anything that I can do the enhance the "State Server Mode"
to provide fail over support, such as dedicating 2 Session
State servers instead of 1, and adding the hooks to
replicate the session states from one server to the next?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Yan-Hong Huang,

Thanks for the response. I can't use the "SQL Server Mode"
because of performance reasons. So my only option is
the "Out of Process mode". However, I am concerned that
when the computer that hosts the stateserver service
crashes, then all of our users will lose their sessions.
What I'd like to know is if there's a way to run 2
computers to host the stateserver service and have them
replicate the session states among themselves. In this
way, if one computer crashes, the other one can take over.

Thanks,
--Nhi Lam

Hello Nhi,

I will send email to confirm if there is any way to do it. I will get back
here ASAP. Thanks.

[Yan-Hong Huang[MSFT]]

Hello Nhi,

It¡¯s impossible to have two stateserver services running for state
management. If rebustness is really a concern, we could only use SQL
Server with clustering.

For details, see this FAQ:

Hope it helps.

[Demetri]

I need a way to pass session variables from a classic asp
page to an asp.net page. I can not use a query string
since the one does not call the other. In addition, i'm
looking for more of a one application scope and not all
the applications under the wwwroot thus it does not have
to be but so generic.

Any ideas?

Thanks

[Chris Moore [MSFT]]

Here is an article that might give you some ideas on this:

The situation:
We have a table that contains usercontrols. In the
usercontrols, there is input that we want to keep
throughout the session.

But are finding it difficult to get the variable values
from other usercontrols.

What does .NET suggest we do now that we are discouraged
from using Session variables?

Thanks for any help!

chris

[Marina]

Why are you discouraged from using session variables?

..NET does not discourage the use of session variables. That is why it has 3
different models for maintaining session state.

Agreed. In fact, you could say that ASP.NET promotes the use of more session
state management than previous ASP did.

[encapsul]

Any variables I set in the Global.asax as a Session Variable only carry thru
to the first page. That page is a menu and users hyperlink to another page
from there without carrying any form data. This page is also 1 level down
from the root. Session("test") = "anything"

Am I missing a configuration because values are not carry from page to page.
Application("test") = "anything" is also failing.

Hi,
How can I handle sessionstate in the custom server controls

Is it possible to store session state for each separate user in a separate
process? We have a COM component that we want to use that is not thread safe
and has to be isolated. We would like to store this in a separate process
for each user.

Thanks for any help

You are storing a binary object in session? This is not recommended and not
scalable

An Integer is a binary object. I think you mean that storing a COM object in
Session is not recommended, right?

I won't even answer that...I hate threads that discuss semantics..when the
language used is sufficient to communicate the issue.

An integer is NOT a binary object, it's a base object, in my mind. Of course
I meant a COM or similiar object. Your post added no new information.

That's not sematics, and I tried to be nice about it by giving you an out
("I think you mean..., right?"). It has nothing to do with a COM object
being binary. It has everything to do with the threading model. I simply
used an Integer as an example. In fact, almost everything you store in
Session State is binary. When people point out my mistakes, I admit them, as
hard as it is on my flesh to do so, in order to maintain my credibility.

And BTW, you contradicted yourself by saying that you wouldn't answer that,
and then answering that.

Bravo Kevin! I like it when people point out my mistakes, personally,
because it reminds me that there is still an infinite amount of stuff to
learn. Learning is my favorite part of living.

No new information, again. Perhaps we should start a new thread? How does
this help the OP?

You are wasting my time. You obviously understood the intent of my original
message, but chose to "one up".

Why do I get sucked into this stuff?? :-)

Sure, when I'm wrong, I'll admit it right away. Except when I made myself
perfectly clear and someone wants attention by arguing in semantics.

You should not store binary objects in Session. Only base types like
integers and strings.
