4. Overview
• Introduction
• State Management
• Cookie
• Session
• Get
• Post

5. Introduction
• Web Pages developed in ASP.Net are HTTP based
and HTTP protocol is a stateless protocol.

6. State Management
• It is the process by which you maintain state and page
information over multiple requests for the same or
different pages.
• Two type State Management
1. Client side State Management
Data can be stored at client side.
Ex: View state, Cookies , Query strings.
2. Server side State Management
Data can be stored at Server side.
Ex: Session state.

7. Cookie

8. Introduction
• Cookies are the small text files that are stored on
client side.
• It is used for state management.
• Used to send data from one webform to another.

9. How to create Cookies
Step 1: Create the cookie object
HttpCookie cookie = new HttpCookie("UserDetails");
Step 2: store value into cookie
cookie["Name"] = txtName.Text;
cookie["Email"] = txtEmail.Text;
Step 3: Add the cookie to the client machine
Response.Cookies.Add(cookie);

10. How to read data from Cookies
Step 1: Retrieve Cookie
HttpCookie cookie = Request.Cookies["UserDetails"];
Step 2: check whether a cookie was found or not.
if (cookie != null)
{
lblName.Text = cookie["Name"];
lblEmail.Text = cookie["Email"];
}
EXAMPLE

11. Types Of Cookie
• Cookies can be broadly classified into 2 types
1. Non-Persistent cookies
• Temporary Cookies.
• Remain in memory until the browser is closed.
2. Persistent cookies
• permanent cookies
• Remain on the client computer, even after the browser
is closed.

12. How to make persistent Cookies?
• persistent cookies should have an expatriation time
defined.
– cookie.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(30);

13. Advantages and Disadvantages
of Cookies
• Advantages
– It's very simple to use and implement.
– Browser takes care of sending the data.
• Disadvantages
– It stores data in simple text format, so it's not
secure at all.
– There is a size limit for cookies data (4KB).

14. Session
• Session state variables are stored on the web server
• Session state is maintained per user basis in ASP .Net
runtime.
• Default life time is 20 minute.

15. Storing values To Session
• Use session Object
– Session["UserName"] = txtUser.Text;

16. Retrieving values From Session
 Check weather session variable null or not
if (Session["UserName"] != null)
{
// Retrieving UserName from Session
lblWelcome.Text = "Welcome : " + Session["UserName"];
}
else
{ //Do Something }

17. Advantages and Disadvantages
of Session
• Advantages
– Stores client data separately.
– Session is secure and transparent from the user.
• Disadvantages
– Performance overhead

18. Get and Post

19. Hypertext Transfer Protocol
• Http is the most common protocol used for
communication between a web server and a client.
• The 2 most commonly used HTTP methods are
1. GET
2. POST.

20. GET Request
• the data being sent to your server is coded into the
URL.

21. POST Request
• Data will be arranged in HTTP message body.

22. where it is?
• <form method="get||post">
• By default Get method are used
• If the form data is large then best is use POST
• By default the form with runat="server", will
have method="post“
•

23. where it is? Contd..
• the first request of that page: Request is a GET
type .
• In postback: Request is a POST type

24. Difference between GET and POST
method

25. Example Programs….
if(Request.RequestType=="GET")
{
Response.Write("Request is a GET type");
}
else if(Request.RequestType=="POST")
{
Response.Write("Request is a POST type");
}
