I'm in need of some clarification. I've been reading about REST, and building RESTful applications. According to wikipedia, REST itself is defined to be Representational State Transfer. I therefore don't understand all this stateless gobbledeygook that everyone keeps spewing. From wikipedia: At any particular time, a client can either ...

Everything works great, but now I am trying to set an entity property value equal to a value in session state - and its not recognizing the Session command.

I just implemented a handler that uses IReadOnlySessionState and was wondering why this marker interface is needed. (I understand that it is needed in order to access Session variables, my question is why is this from a framework designer's perspective) My thinking is that it is so handlers can be as lean as possible, requiring them to...
I have an ASP.NET application that needs to remember some info about a user (and what company they are from) across pages, within a session. I imagine this is a requirement of just about any ASP.NET application of a certain size. I've used a few different approaches over the years. In the past, I've passed around an id in querystring p...
I set ViewState["zzz"] and Session["zzz"] to the same string. When I compare using == I get false. When I do ViewState["zzz"].Equals(Session["zzz"]), I get true. In the debugger, both their values show the same string, and when I do ? ViewState["zzz"] == Session["zzz"] I get false. I thought the ViewState StateBag Item defaults to...
We're having trouble with an existing ASP.NET Webforms app. It's an app that has been running successfully for years; we're adding a Mobile section and Blackberry with Javascript enabled is giving us trouble. We have SessionState turned on, with the SessionID stored in a Cookie. The Blackberry device (tested with both 5.0 and 4.6) is ei...
I have two identical applications setup on IIS on different virtual directories (I have done some workaround to ensure that they both have the same application name). Is there a way to share session id across two asp.net web applications? Since I'm storing the session in StateServer, they should both be getting the same session data, h...
How can I change the default session time in an ASP.NET website to something user defined - perhaps 1 hr? I assume the default session time is 20 mins.. ...
Hi, I have a website that returns search results from Twitter, written in C# ASP.NET. The search works very well. When the user sees the results I want them to also have a 'Next Page' type hyperlink that will perform the search from the last previous result onwards (using Twitter's next_page data). How can I preserve properties so th...

Situation: In Web.Config we have CustomErrors turned on with redirectMode="ResponseRewrite". In Page_Load of our MasterPage we access the Session property of the Page. Problem: When an Error occurs on any page the user gets redirected (via Rewrite) to our Error.aspx Page. There in the Page_Load of the MasterPage we access the Sessio...

The OS is Windows Server 2008 R2, IIS 7.5 and Sharepoint Services 3.0. The question is that when I execute the appli...

I'm trying to implement a SessionState server to allow multiple web servers to share the same state. At first this will be the different dev machines, and later it'll be the different web servers in the web farm. So far, I'm making good progress I think, but one of the requirements has me confused. In order to implement this, I need to ...
