My variables is retaining its value even if other computers accessing my website. for example, i logged in the pc 1 using Username - User1. when i access the site on pc 2, the User1 is already logged in. Hope some one could help me on this.

i have a variable

public Username as string

then the code is

C#

Username = txtUsername.text

Im going to log in to PC 1 using username "test_user1"

when i access the website on another pc or computer, the username "test_user1" is still on the variable Username.

The question is why it inherit or retain the value of the variable "Username" on other computers?

i used this codes below

C#

Protected Sub btnLogin2_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.ImageClickEventArgs) Handles btnLogin2.Click

Username = txtUsername.text
FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(Username, False)
Response.Redirect("~/frmMenu.aspx", False)

End Sub

Its not about the authentication, its about the variable i declared on the module and why it has same value accross other computers accessing my website.

Try keeping the user information in session rather than application variables.

I got a tons of variable and i also got datatables declared on a module. is there any other way?

Dont move all the variables to session...Just move the User Information to Session.
Check if Session("UserName") contains any value. If it doesnt exist then redirect to login page.Put this code in the page load of each page in your application.

Its not about the authentication. Its about the variable and its value why is it staying even if i use other computers. Multiple computers accessing my website, and the value of the variables are i think the same.

Solution 3

check if you has declared variable as public static this could be a reason of such case.
And if you want to access this name to another form then use query string or if you want to access it through-out the session store it in session.

Yes i declare the variable in a module as Public. Is there an alternative way other than using session in it?
