Dear All,

I have created one web application for Online Exam, in ASP.NET, javascript.

Using javascript & ajax I'm fetching the question and inserting the Candidate's answers for each question on-click "Next" button.

Now, the requirement is to restore the last session when the browser or PC shutdown unexpectedly.

What I have tried:

How can I get back the exam session, where I'm using javascript and ajax for "Get & Post".

Can anyone please suggest/help me.

Thanks in advance.

How do you manage the exam session on the server?

You would need to store the session on the server-side.

Otherwise, Sessions do not exist maintained that way (the way you expect them).

If the PC or browser shuts, you will lose the Session - which gives you just two options:
1) Use Cookies to store the info - these are stored at the Client, and can used to restore the previous position.
2) Use a server based database and store the current position there, against the user (who presumably has to log in on the server to take the test anyway).
