About Session or Cookies

Question

Hello, hope everyone is doing fine. I need help keeping my session alive in my MVC web application, until User logged out.

use form's authentication for Login , here is complete code "Forms" > "~/Home/Login" > [HttpGet] public ActionResult Login( string ReturnUrl) { ViewBag.ReturnUrl = ReturnUrl; return View(); } [HttpPost] public ActionResult Login( string UserName, string Password, bool RememberMe, string ReturnUrl) { if (UserName == "sachin" & Password == "sachin@7777" ) // do database check here { FormsAuthenticationTicket authTicket = new FormsAuthenticationTicket(1, username, DateTime.Now, DateTime.Now.AddMonths(12), true , username, FormsAuthentication.FormsCookiePath); string encrTicket = FormsAuthentication.Encrypt(authTicket); HttpCookie c = new HttpCookie(FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName, encrTicket); Response.Cookies.Add(c); return Redirect(ReturnUrl); } return View( "Login" ); } //view @{ ViewBag.Title = "Login" ; } Login "/Home/Login" method= "post" > User Name:@Html.TextBox( "UserName" ) Password :@Html.Password( "Password" ) Remember Me:@Html.CheckBox( "RememberMe" ) @Html.Hidden( "ReturnUrl" , new { @value = ViewBag.ReturnUrl}) "submit" >Login

Hi , You need to check for cookie value before executing any action. Here is a generic code. You have to add Cookies with login details, something like this , ***** On login click*********** string username = session[ "name" ]; string Password = session[ "password" ]; HttpCookie mycookie = new HttpCookie( "LoginDetail" ); mycookie.Values( "Username" ) = txtUsername.Text.Trim(); mycookie.Values( "Password" ) = txtPassword.Text.Trim(); mycookie.Expires = System.DateTime.Now.AddDays(365); Response.Cookies.Add(mycookie); Response.Redirect( "Home.aspx" ); ********* On any other page load/ action load********* //check if cookie exist then login page from if ((Response.Cookies( "LoginDetail" ) != null )) { //do stuff } else { //redirect to login page } Make sure that cookie settings are enabled in your browser.
