A windows service on a server to display reminders to ASP.NET users is useless. Think about it. Are the users going to be sitting in your server room to see the messages?

When the user logs in to the web application then you can display any reminders by rendering and serving an ASP.NET page to their browser.

hi,

we need to show reminder for each and every user individually based on the reminder time set by the user. Here My doubt is how to show the reminder popup in the client browser. Is it possible to run a windows service in server and send a page to the client when the reminder time matches the server time? or is there any other way to show reminders on the client system from server without installing any additional services on the client system?

NO!

You don't seem to understand the concepts of ASP.NET or web development. Think. How would a server know what pc to send the page to? How it know if the PC were on? What if the IP address changed? How would you feel if someone suddenly sent a message and opened your browser when you were in the middle of a presentation?

As I said, they only way you can do this is check when the user logs into your site. You can use ajax to check and send alerts, but only while the user is active on your site.

@Vishnu

Think of it this way, Outlook is NOT a web application, its a windows application. Your is a web application that "executes" in a browser and so would have no access to the client's machine (in general). In order to do this you need to have a windows service on your client's machine which could talk to your server and get the information required. So when there are remainders to be pushed to the client, the windows service on the "Client" side gets it from your server and the windows service can in turn do something to display that to the client. So essentially your server should have another windows service or a web service to serve the requests from the client's windows service.

If its a web application that you are talking about, as Mark said, unless the user logs in to your site, he/she cannot get the remainders.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Karthik

hi,

The functionality on which i am working is that unless the user logs in to our web application, he/she cannot get the reminders. As soon as the user logs in, he/she must get the reminders irrespective of the section he /she is browsing in our web application by showing popup window according to the time in the client system and update the status on the server. Please suggest me a solution.

Thanks in advance

Regards,
Vishnu

You could do something like this, but this may not be the best solution.

* Once the user logs in on Page_Load verify whether the user has any remainders and show it if it matches w/ the remainder date/time.
* If there are none, you could then find if there are any remainders in the near future say, in the next "few" minutes, you will have to decide this "few"
* If there are remainders set up in the next "few" minutes, use javascript (setTimeOut) to wait for that time and then when its the time to dispaly the remainder get it from the server using AJAX and display it.
* If the user navigates away from this page to another page, the same rule applies.
* If the user is in a page where-in he can set remainders, you need to have a javascript function that is being called w/ setTimeOut to verify if there are any remainders to be displayed

PS - Again this may not be the best solution as this one was an immediate solution that occurred to me.

Hi,

in my application - when I traverse for sometime to various tabs - suddenly login,aspx page is displayed.
When I checked logs - but no debugger statement printed there..and no javascript alerts are seen.

So I verified web.config for timeout properties but couldnot find anything to be changed

<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="login.aspx" protection="All" timeout="600" slidingExpiration="true" >
</forms>
</authentication>

and

<sessionState mode="InProc" timeout="600" />

Thanks and regards,
- Ajay Kale

You have already asked about asp.net login issues and received answers. Now you have spammed ever article you have found on the subject, 19 as I count, plus here.

How about following the last piece of advise given. READ THE DOCUMENTATION.

Dear Experts,

What are all the possible ways a session fixation can be solved. I have one solution(Anti-CSRF token implementation). Is there any other solutions.

Thanks in advance.

ScriptManager is irrelevant. It is for AJAX support and is not necessary for injecting normal JavaScript into a page.
