i am tired wondering the issue for this problem. have read so many blogs and forums for this but i am not able to find out the problem.
I am using "SQLServer" mode to store session.
Everything is working fine. But whenever i use search function in my website, it throws the below error:
"Unable to serialize the session state. In 'StateServer' and 'SQLServer' mode, ASP.NET will serialize the session state objects, and as a result non-serializable objects or MarshalByRef objects are not permitted. The same restriction applies if similar serialization is done by the custom session state store in 'Custom' mode."
I am assuming that this is because of the paging code i have used on that page. That code is as below:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
string query = "select xxxxqueryxxxx";
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(query, con);
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
try
{
using (con)
{
con.Open();
da.Fill(ds);
}
}
catch
{
ds = null;
}
finally
{
if (ds != null)
{
CustomPaging page = new CustomPaging();
DataTable dt = ds.Tables[0];
page.PageSize = 10;
page.DataSource = dt;
page.CurrentPageIndex = 0;
no = 1;
Session["DT"] = dt;
Session["page"] = page;
bindData(page, dt);
//set these properties for multi columns in datalist
DataList2.RepeatColumns = 1;
DataList2.RepeatDirection = RepeatDirection.Horizontal;
}
}
}
}
void bindData(CustomPaging page, DataTable dt)
{
try
{
DataList2.DataSource = page.DoPaging;
DataList2.DataBind();
//DataList2.DataSource = SqlDataSource1;
//DataList2.DataBind();
lbtnPre.Enabled = !page.IsFirstPage; //Enable / Disable Navigation Button
// lbtnPre.CssClass = "disabledbtn";
lbtnNext.Enabled = !page.IsLastPage;
//lbtnNext.CssClass = "disabledbtn";
lblStatus.Text = NavigationIndicator(); //Build Navigation Indicator
//for creating page index
DataTable dt1 = new DataTable();
dt1.Columns.Add("PageIndex");
dt1.Columns.Add("PageText");
for (int i = 0; i < page.PageCount; i++)
{
DataRow dr = dt1.NewRow();
dr[0] = i;
dr[1] = i + 1;
dt1.Rows.Add(dr);
}
dlPaging.DataSource = dt1;
dlPaging.DataBind();
dlPaging.RepeatColumns = 10;
dlPaging.RepeatDirection = RepeatDirection.Horizontal;
}
catch (Exception)
{
}
finally
{
page = null;
}
}
string NavigationIndicator()
{
string str = string.Empty; //Page x Of Y
str = Convert.ToString(((CustomPaging)Session["page"]).CurrentPageIndex + 1) + " of " + ((CustomPaging)Session["PAGE"]).PageCount.ToString() + " Page(s) found";
return str;
}
protected void lbtnPre_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int pageIndex = ((CustomPaging)Session["page"]).CurrentPageIndex;
if (!((CustomPaging)Session["page"]).IsFirstPage)
//Decrements the pageIndex by 1 (Move to Previous page)
((CustomPaging)Session["page"]).CurrentPageIndex -= 1;
else
((CustomPaging)Session["page"]).CurrentPageIndex = pageIndex;
//Binds the DataList with new pageIndex
bindData(((CustomPaging)Session["page"]), ((DataTable)Session["DT"]));
}
protected void lbtnNext_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int pageIndex = ((CustomPaging)Session["page"]).CurrentPageIndex;
if (!((CustomPaging)Session["page"]).IsLastPage)
//Increments the pageIndex by 1 (Move to Next page)
((CustomPaging)Session["page"]).CurrentPageIndex += 1;
else
((CustomPaging)Session["page"]).CurrentPageIndex = pageIndex;
//Binds the DataList with new pageIndex
bindData(((CustomPaging)Session["page"]), ((DataTable)Session["DT"]));
}
protected void DataList2_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Response.Redirect("Default2.aspx?partnumber=" + DataList2.DataKeyField[DataList2.SelectedIndex].ToString());
}
protected void dlPaging_ItemCommand(object source, DataListCommandEventArgs e)
{
if (e.CommandName == "Select")
{
no = int.Parse(e.CommandArgument.ToString()) + 1;
((CustomPaging)Session["page"]).CurrentPageIndex = int.Parse(e.CommandArgument.ToString());
//Binds the DataList with new pageIndex
bindData(((CustomPaging)Session["page"]), ((DataTable)Session["DT"]));
}
}
protected void dlPaging_ItemDataBound(object sender, DataListItemEventArgs e)
{
LinkButton btn = (LinkButton)e.Item.FindControl("lnkbtnPaging");
if (btn.Text == no.ToString())
{
btn.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Maroon;
btn.Font.Underline = false;
}
else
{
btn.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.DarkCyan;
btn.Font.Underline = false;
}
}
I just want to know what the problem is in the coding and "how to serialize the session"? What shold i do to improve the coding?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank You
