Asp – way to extend a class ASP session whenever an ASP .NET Request is made

asp-classicasp.netsession

I have a web site that runs both classic ASP and ASP.NET Webforms. The sessions for each are separate.

I need to hit some asp page whenever a request is made on the ASP.NET pages.

Why? Because I need to extend the ASP's session so it doesn't expire.

I know this is going to cause a number of issues and I really really don't want to do this, but the decision is not in my hands, unfortunately.

Is there any way to accomplish what I'm trying to do?

Put a .asp page inside an iframe on the asp.net page? Just clarifying here... You don't need to make the iframe visible. 0px or whatever you want. But load it in the src= attribute.

I would think you'll want to think about if things really belong in a session state. This is something I find myself doing every now and then and it's a nice strongly typed approach to the whole thing but you should be careful when putting things in the session context. Not everything should be there just because it belongs to some user.

in global.asax hook the OnSessionStart event

void OnSessionStart(...)
{
    HttpContext.Current.Session.Add("__MySessionObject", new MySessionObject());
}

From anywhere in code where the HttpContext.Current property != null you can retrive that object. I do this with an extension method.

public static MySessionObject GetMySessionObject(this HttpContext current)
{
    return current != null ? (MySessionObject)current.Session["__MySessionObject"] : null;
}

This way you can in code

void OnLoad(...)
{
    var sessionObj = HttpContext.Current.GetMySessionObject();
    // do something with 'sessionObj'
}
