STATE MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES

ASP.NET - STATEMANAGEMENT
 State Management is very important feature in
ASP.NET.
 State Management maintains & stores the information
of any user till the end of the user session.
 State management can be classified into two types.
 Client side state management
 Server side state management

Client side state management
Client side state management can
be handled by
 Hidden Fields
 View State
 Cookies
 Query String
 Control state

Server side state Management
Server side state management can
be handled by
 Session state
 Application state

Hidden Field control
 Hidden Field is a control provided by ASP.NET,
which is used to store small amount of data on the
client
 Hidden Field Control is not rendered to the browser
and it is invisible on the browser.
Syntax:
<asp: HiddenField ID=“HiddenField1”
runat=“server/>

Hidden Field Control Example
HiddenField.aspx

HiddenField.aspx.cs
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
public partial class HiddenField : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (HiddenField1.Value != null)
{
int val = Convert.ToInt32(HiddenField1.Value) + 1;
HiddenField1.Value = val.ToString();
Label1.Text = "The Hidden Field Value is Incremented by 1 & the Current Value is : <B>" +
val.ToString() + "</B>";
}
}
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Label1.Visible = true;
}
}

ViewState
 View state is used to store user’s data, which is provided by
Asp.net client side state management mechanism.
 ViewState stores data in the generated HTML using hidden
field , not on the server.
 ViewState provides page level state management.
 ie., as long as the user is on the current page, the state will be available;
Once the user redirects to the next page , the current state will be lost.
 ViewState can store any type of data & it will be enabled by
default for all the serverside control by setting true to
“EnableViewState” property.

Viewstate.aspx.cs
{
if (IsPostBack)
{
if (ViewState["count"] != null)
{
int viewstatecount = Convert.ToInt32(ViewState["count"]) + 1;
Label2.Text = viewstatecount.ToString();
ViewState["count"] = viewstatecount.ToString();
}
else
{
ViewState["count"] = "1";
}
}
}

protected void btn_Store_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ViewState["name"] = txtName.Text;
txtName.Text = "";
Label2.Text=ViewState["count"].ToString();
}
protected void btn_Display_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Label1.Text =ViewState["name"].ToString();
Label2.Text =ViewState["count"].ToString();
}

QUERYSTRING
 A Querystring is a collection of character input to a
computer or a browser.
 In Querystring , we can sent value to only desired page & the
value will be temporarily stored.
 Querystring increase the overall performance of web
application.
 When we pass content between webforms, the Querystring
followed with a separating character (?).
 The question mark(?) is, basically used for identifying data
appearing after the separating symbol.

QueryHome.aspx.cs
using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
public partial class QueryHome : System.Web.UI.Page
{
{
}
protected void btn_submit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Response.Redirect("QueryWelcome.aspx?firstname="+TextBox1.Text+
“lastname="+TextBox2.Text);
}
}

QueryWelcome.aspx
QueryWelcome.aspx.cs
using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
public partial class QueryWelcome : System.Web.UI.Page
{
{
String firstname = Request.QueryString["firstname"];
String lastname= Request.QueryString["lastname"];
Label1.Text = "Welcome " + firstname + " " + lastname;
}
}

COOKIES
 Cookies are small piece of text which is stored on the client’s
computer by the browser.
 i.e. ., Cookies allows web applications to save user’s
information to reuse , if needed.
Cookies can be classified into 2 types
1. Persistence Cookie
2. Non-Persistence Cookie

1. Persistence Cookie
 This types of cookies are permanently stored on user hard drive.
Cookies which have an expiry date time are called persistence cookies.
 This types of cookies stored user hard drive permanently till the date time we
set.
To create persistence cookie:
Response.Cookies[“name”].Value = “Nithiyapriya”;
Response.Cookies[“Nithiyapriya”].Expires = DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(2);
(or)
HttpCookie strname = new HttpCookie(“name”);
strname.Value = “Nithiyapriya”;
strname.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(2);
Response.Cookies.Add(strname);
Here, the Cookie Expire time is set as 2 minutes; so that we can access the
cookie values up to 2 minutes, after 2 minutes the cookies automatically
expires.

2. Non-Persistence Cookie
 This types of cookies are not permanently stored on user hard
drive.
 It stores the information up the user accessing the same browser.
 When user close the browser the cookies will be automatically
deleted.
To create non-persistence cookie:
Response.Cookies[“name”].Value = “Nithiyapriya”;
(OR)
HttpCookie strname = new HttpCookie(“name”);
strname.Value = “Nithiyapriya”;
Response.Cookies.Add(strname);

Cookies.aspx.cs
using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
public partial class Cookies : System.Web.UI.Page
{
{
if (Request.Cookies["BackgroundColor"] != null)
{
ColorSelector.SelectedValue=Request.Cookies["BackgroundColor"].Value;
BodyTag.Style["background-color"] = ColorSelector.SelectedValue;
}
}
protected void ColorSelector_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
BodyTag.Style["background-color"] = ColorSelector.SelectedValue;
HttpCookie cookie = new HttpCookie("BackgroundColor");
cookie.Value = ColorSelector.SelectedValue;
cookie.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(2);
Response.SetCookie(cookie);
}
}

This background Color of this page retains,
until 2 minutes, even after you closed the
browser.

Server side State Management
Session State
 The session is the important features of asp.net
 Session state is used to store value for the particular period of
time.
 Session can store the client data on the sever separately for
each user & it keeps value across multiple pages of website.
 i.e. user can store some information in session in one page &
it can be accessed on rest of all other pages by using session.
 For example ,When a user login to any website with
username & password, the username will be shown to all
other pages.

Syntax :
Session[“session_name”] = “session value”;
To Declare session in asp.net
Session[“name”]=”Nithiyapriya”;
Response.Redirect(“Welcomepage.aspx”);
To Retrieve session value onWelcomepage
string myvalue= Session[“name”].ToString();
Response.Write(“Name = ” + myvalue);
Example:
To set SessionTimeout add this code toWeb.config
<system.web>
<compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.5" />
<httpRuntime targetFramework="4.5" />
<sessionState timeout="1"></sessionState>
</system.web>

Login.aspx
Login.aspx.cs
using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
public partial class Login : System.Web.UI.Page
{
{
}
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (txtusername.Text == "admin" && txtpassword.Text == "admin")
{
Session["uname"] = txtusername.Text;
Response.Redirect("Main.aspx");
} else
{
Label1.Text = "Wrong UserName/Password";
} } }

Main.aspx
Main.aspx.cs
using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
public partial class Main : System.Web.UI.Page
{
{
if (Session["uname"] == null)
{
// Response.Redirect("Login.aspx");
Label1.Text = "Your Session is Expired";
} else
{
Label1.Text = "Welcome " + Session["uname"].ToString();
} }
protected void btn_logout_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Session["uname"] = null;
Response.Redirect("Login.aspx");
} }

After 1 Minute of Idle this
page will automatically
signed out.

Application State
 Application state is server side state management
mechanism.
 Application state is used to store data on server & shared for
all the users and it can be accessible anywhere in the
application.
 The application state is used same as session, but the
difference is, the session state is specific for a single user ;
where as an application state is common for all users.

To Store value in application state
Application[“name”] = “Nithiyapriya”;
To get value from application state
string str = Application[“name”].ToString();
 Example:
 Here we are going to calculate how many times a given page has
been visited by various clients.

ApplicationState.aspx.cs
using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
public partial class ApplicationState : System.Web.UI.Page
{
{
}
protected void Button1_Click1(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int count = 0;
if (Application["visit"] != null)
{
count = Convert.ToInt32(Application["visit"].ToString());
}
count = count + 1;
Application["visit"] = count;
Label1.Text = "This page is been visited for <b> " + count.ToString() + " </b>times";
}
}
