Session state can only be used when enableSessionState is set to


My code is this
 Private userID As Integer = Session("UserID")

    Private FileNamePath As String = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSetti ngs.Get("MyDirPath") _
    & userID & "_" & String.Format("MMddyyy", DateTime.Today) & ".txt"
gives me an error. I put enabled Session State = true in page directive. Second error could not figure out. My web config is described after the error
true, either in a configuration file or in the Page directive. Please also make sure that System.Web.SessionStateModule or a custom session state module is included in the <configuration>\<system.web>\<httpModules> section in the application configuration.

I am not sure I understand what you're posting here.

Are you making a statement?? This seems to say you are: Or are you asking a question? Are you maybe getting an error because Session state is not configured? Look at the error: Isn't that as clear as it gets?

Anyway, if you post follow up or new questions, you may want to spend some time to explain what it is you really want. Saves us from a lot of confusion.... ;)

Want to be my colleague? Then check out this post.

I am trying to get the value of which I have set in login page. when I try to use it outside the events say declared it globally then it gives an error other wise If i used it locally inside the event, it gives value Session("userID)

I recommend you double check that it is actually being set in the login page. For example, if you were using HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name to access the logged in user name, that is not available until after a post back, which means it's not available in the page_load event handler of the login page. Same goes for User.Identity.Name and Context.User.Identity.Name which are all the same thing. As far as I know one workaround is:

In page_load you don't know if it was authenticated or not so keep that in mind. However if you handle say, the login controls LoggedIn event and put that in there then thats a safe assumption, and you can use that to set stuff like session vars.

actually after the user logins I set the user ID, then after post login, I try to use Session(User(ID") but it complains

I'm not sure.

But I do know when you access the session collection, you always have to check if it's Nothing, because session state is not reliable, especially if you are using the default InProc session state service. The app pool can get recycled any time by IIS when memory reaches some limit, and then you lose session state values. Thus you have to program against it with that in mind. I'm not saying thats your problem here, but it's worth keeping in mind.

It complains at top not on page load, gives value on page load for session
Private userID As Integer = Session("UserID")
    Dim rightNow As DateTime = DateTime.Now
    'Private FileNamePath As String = "_" & System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSetti ngs.Get("MyDirPath")

    Private FileNamePath As String = "data _" & rightNow.ToString("yyMMdd_hhmmss") & userID & ".txt"
    Private objStreamWriter As System.IO.StreamWriter

    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
        If Page.IsPostBack = False Then
            Dim userID As Integer
            userID = Session("UserID")

Can you define "complains"? Do you get an error?

Again, it would be really helpful if you provided more information. We can't look at your IDE or even your site, so it's hard for us to see what's going on. The more information you provide, like an error message instead of just saying it complains, would really help....

This is not a proper description of the error, but merely a copy and paste action of your original post, with identical spelling / writing mistakes still in them.

Where do you get this error? In the browser or at development time? Can you provide more detail about your code, site, and setup?

I can get the information out of you by asking questions one by one, where you respond by copying the same post over and over again. My guess is that this can take days....

As an alternative, you could provide a *useful* description of your situation, provide *relevant* information about errors, setup and so on so we can help you resolve this in a few minutes.

Your call......
