Hi,
I want to set the Dropdown selected value in Session. I have done in Code behind. But for some condition i have to Do in Client Side Itself. i tried the following. but i did't solution yet.

JavaScript

<%Session["Test"] = "Welcome Mamu";%>
var session_value='<%=Session["Test"]%>'; 
alert(session_value);

The above work fine. Note that i have assign Static value(Welcome Mamu). but for Dynamatic,

JavaScript

var strTest=document.getElementById('DropDownList1').value; 
<%Session["Test"] = "'+ strTest +'";%> 
var session_value='<%=Session["Test"]%>';
alert(session_value);

It is Working fine in Client Side. But i Server Side(Code Behind), the Session["Test"] value is '+ strTest +'.

Is any other way to assign values to Session?

Thanks Rajeev. This code is working fine. Hari A

Solution 2

Instead of using Session["Test"]= '+ strTest +'.;
use this one Session["Test"]=strTest ; because it is member of cs page it directly accessed.

strTest is an variable, can't give Session["Test"]=strTest; directly in javascript

Solution 3

Hi,
store it in a hidden filed, submit it to the server, and retrieve and assign the values in hidden filed to session.
Hope it helps.
Good Luck

Why do you want to assign a session variable from client script???

If you wish to display a message based on a list value do it directly in client script. If you wish to persist it in session, then raise a postback / do it on the subsequent post back. Better yet have a hidden field on you form that you can use to persist this data without adding it to the session.

First why do you need to know why anyone wants to know something. Second, how does your response answer the question? It does not. Instead of providing alternate ideas of how to do a task when you are not aware of all of the requirements, perhaps you should try to provide an answer that pertains to the question. I had the same question, and I needed to do it because once the user clicked away from the page, the data I wanted to save in the Session was gone. I needed to trap the onbeforeunload event in javascript on the page and somehow get the C# code to be able to save any form data in the session so that when the user returned, it was not gone. I did finally figure it out from posts by people who actually answered the question being asked instead of questioning the motives of the person asking the question.

Not possible to assign session values directly through javascript.

I found alternative ways. Call the code behind function and assign the session values.

Javascript Function:

JavaScript

 function InitializeRequest(path) {
            // call server side method
            PageMethods.SetDownloadPath(path);
}

Code Behind Function:

C#

[System.Web.Services.WebMethod]
    public static string SetDownloadPath(string strpath)
    {
        Page objp = new Page();
        objp.Session["strDwnPath"] = strpath; 
        return strpath;
    }

Must enable page methods set to true

ASP.NET

<asp:ScriptManager EnablePageMethods="true" ID="MainSM" runat="server" ScriptMode="Release" LoadScriptsBeforeUI="true"></asp:ScriptManager>
