Hello guys I am trying to make restriction on my WebApp that runs on VB.net with framework Asp.net. In another words, how can I Control the permitted number of sessions.
The WebApp works perfectly and now I want to add "How many users can access the WebApp" if Number of users "Sessions" exceeded the new coming users will be redirected to a site.
I have been working on this for few weeks... tried Cookies and Seasons and neither is working
Scenario: Maximum users can access the WebApp is 1
when I launch the second Browser and start new session the UserNumber will be incremented by 1 hence will be redirected to "ServerBusy" page...
However, If the second Browser opened new tab and accessed the WebApp that will bypass the Condition at Session_Start and will access the WebApp .
Thank you.
here is the Code
Imports System.Web
Public Class Global_asax
Inherits System.Web.HttpApplication
Public Shared maxUsersAllowance As Integer = 1 'Total number of users can enter the server
Public Shared UserNumber As Integer = 0 ' the current number of users
Sub Application_Start(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
' Fires when the application is started
End Sub
Sub Session_Start(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
UserNumber = UserNumber + 1
Dim myCookie As New HttpCookie("UserNumber")
Dim myCookie2 As New HttpCookie("Access")
myCookie.Value = UserNumber
myCookie2.Value = True
Response.Cookies.Add(myCookie)
Response.Cookies.Add(myCookie2)
If (Request.Cookies("UserNumber") IsNot Nothing) Then
If (Request.Cookies("UserNumber").Value > 1) Then
If (Request.Cookies("Access").Value) Then
Response.Redirect("~/ServerBusy.aspx")
End If
End If
End If
End Sub
Sub Application_BeginRequest(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
End Sub
Sub Application_AuthenticateRequest(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
End Sub
Sub Application_Error(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
End Sub
Sub Session_End(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
End Sub
Sub Application_End(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
End Sub
Sub Application_Init(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
End Sub
Sub Application_Dispose(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
End Sub
Sub Application_Unload(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
End Sub
End Class
After Reading Article https://stackoverflow.com/a/6218525/1260204 and Updating the code, the Issue still exist which is that the User Can get into the WebApp if he open new Tab on the browser and connected
Imports System.Web
Public Class Global_asax
Inherits System.Web.HttpApplication
Sub Application_Start(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
' Fires when the application is started
Application("ActiveSessions") = 0
End Sub
Sub Session_Start(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Try
Application.Lock()
Dim activeSessions As Integer = CInt(Application("ActiveSessions")) + 1
Dim allowedSessions As Integer = 1
' retrieve the threshold here instead
Application("ActiveSessions") = activeSessions
If activeSessions > allowedSessions Then
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Redirect("~/ServerBusy.aspx", False)
End If
Finally
Application.UnLock()
End Try
End Sub
Sub Application_BeginRequest(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Dim LiveSessionsCount As Integer = CInt(Application("LiveSessionsCount"))
End Sub
Sub Application_AuthenticateRequest(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
End Sub
Sub Session_End(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Application.Lock()
Application("ActiveSessions") = CInt(Application("ActiveSessions")) - 1
Application.UnLock()
End Sub
End Class
Update, I have solved the Issue with the Tabs. by adding
Session.Abandon()
In my redirected page. However that is half solution as far as i can get to... the other half is , if the user closes his browser by the X , I do need to wait 20 minutes until the session ends ... is there a away to terminate the session once the user exit/kill the page?

asp.net (with vb.net) control array at run time giving error :
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
I am getting this error.
My Code is :
Partial Class _Default
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Dim chk(10) As CheckBox
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
If Page.IsPostBack Then
Else
MsgBox("loading")
chk(0) = New CheckBox
With chk(0)
.ID = "chk(0)"
.Text = .ID
End With
Me.form1.Controls.Add(chk(0))
End If
TextBox1.Text = chk(0).Text
End Sub
Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
If chk(0).Checked = True Then
MsgBox("Yes")
Else
MsgBox("No")
End If
Response.Redirect("Page1.aspx")
End Sub
End Class
Use this instead:
Dim chk As CheckBox
chk = New CheckBox
Solved !
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
If Page.IsPostBack Then
Else
MsgBox("loading")
chk(0) = New CheckBox
With chk(0)
.ID = "chk(0)"
.Text = .ID
End With
Me.form1.Controls.Add(chk(0))
End If
TextBox1.Text = chk(0).Text
End Sub
After a PostBack caused by ddlPlant_SelectedIndexChanged, I need to set set HttpContext.Current.Session("PlantNumber"). This needs to happen after ddlPlant loads in Site.Master, but before the code in Default.aspx needs the value.
Public Class SiteMaster Inherits MasterPage
Protected Sub Page_Init(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Init
If (Not Page.IsPostBack) Then
ddlPlant.DataSource = myDataSource
ddlPlant.DataBind()
ddlPlant.SelectedValue = "1"
End If
HttpContext.Current.Session("PlantNumber") = ddlPlant.SelectedValue
End Sub
Protected Sub ddlPlant_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles ddlPlant.SelectedIndexChanged
End Sub
End Class
Public Class _Default Inherits Page
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Dim units As New List(Of EquipmentModel)
For Each unit As EquipmentModel In getUnits.Out.Results
If (CStr(unit.Plant_ID) = HttpContext.Current.Session("PlantNumber")) Then
units.Add(unit)
End If
Next
gvEquipmentUnit.DataSource = units.OrderBy(Function(n) n.Equipment_ID)
gvEquipmentUnit.DataBind()
End Sub
With the code above, when Session("PlantNumber") is set after PostBack, ddlPlant.SelectedIndex = Nothing, and ddlPlant.SelectedValue is an empty string.
I've tried moving the Session("PlantNumber") = ddlPlant.SelectedValue line to Site.Master's Page_Load instead, but that runs after it is needed in Default.aspx.vb
I looked up PreLoad, but apparently it doesn't work for the Master page.
Ultimately, I decided not to use a Session variable, and instead call the control directly from any page that needs that value on load (almost all of them):
DirectCast(Master.FindControl("ddlPlant"), DropDownList).SelectedValue
I know this is a very basic question, but I cannot find the answer. There are lots of web pages that say page.init does not fire on a post back e.g. here: http://www.dotnetfunda.com/interview/exclusive/x3224-what-is-the-difference-between-the-pageinit-and-pageload-events.aspx. Please see the code below:
Public Class _Default
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Private Sub Page_Init(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Init
MsgBox("Test Init") 'Line 5
End Sub
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
If Page.IsPostBack = True Then
MsgBox("PostBack") 'line 9
End If
MsgBox("Test Load")
End Sub
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
TextBox1.Text = "Hello"
End Sub
End Class
The message box on line 5 and line 9 fire every time I click the button. This means that the Init event is fired on a postback. I have obviously forgotten something very basic.
From your reference page:
When you postback to any page, the Page_Init event doesn't fire.
This is totally wrong.
Page_Init is always fired - actually the page cycle is not change at all.
I have a label's value that is posted back from a previous page and I want to use this label to do a simple calculation in the current page, but when I do the calculation the page (refreshed) the value of this label and automatically deleted the value (Since there would be no value in postback when it refreshed).
Here is the code behind file:
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Label2.Text = Request.Form("Hidden1")
End Sub
and here where I want to use the label
Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim Stotal As String
Stotal = Val(Label2.Text) * 10
Label3.Text = Stotal
End Sub
How can I save the value in the page via view state or any other method? Thanks in advance
Unless you've disabled ViewState on your page, the problem isn't that your label's ViewState isn't being saved, it's that you're overwriting it in your Page_Load method on the postback since the form variable Hidden1 is no longer being posted to your page from the previous page. Try:
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
If Not IsPostBack
Label2.Text = Request.Form("Hidden1")
End If
End Sub
i am still new to using session state, i want to convert page name into and integer according to a database table
a function then compares "X" and "Y" to check if a user have the right to view this page
i know this is not the best way of managing website security, but it is like "training on how to use the session"
what have i done wrong
Partial Class advancedsearch
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Try
Label1.Text = Session("username").ToString
Label3.Text = Session("role").ToString
Label4.Text = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(Request.Url.ToString())
Catch ex As Exception
Response.Redirect("login.aspx")
End Try
If Label1.Text = "" Then
Response.Redirect("login.aspx")
End If
Dim x As Integer = Int32.Parse(Label3.Text)
Dim y As Integer = Int32.Parse(DropDownList1.SelectedItem.ToString)
If x < y Then Response.Redirect("login.aspx")
End Sub
Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Response.Redirect("default.aspx")
End Sub
End Class
try putting the comparison part in pre render complete
Protected Sub Page_PreRenderComplete(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.PreRenderComplete
Dim x As Integer = Int32.Parse(Label3.Text)
Dim y As Integer = Int32.Parse(DropDownList1.SelectedItem.ToString)
If x < y Then Response.Redirect("login.aspx")
End Sub
