Persisting Data between pages

[bozzzza]

Hi All,

We have a busy website, and I was wondering if we should persist the
data by storing the data table in a session or cookie, and when the
user re-loads the page I can cast the session or cookie back to a
datatable and rebind to the grid.

This is a closed web system so there is no problem getting users to
make sure cookies & javascript is enabled.

When the user clicks refresh for example it will re-load from the sql
server again.

But I am wondering if this is a good idea, apart from the obvious
problem of the data being out of date until the user clicks refresh,
are there any other problems this may cause like using more memory on
the server?


TIA

Why not to use System.Web.Cache for this? where you can set the dependency
on updating cache whenever it required

Thanks I will have a look at this, I also noticed that even comes with
it's own memory management.

Sorry I forgot to mention its a load balance servers, and the data is
user specific.

Hello (e-mail address removed),

You means session info?
So there is no standard way for this, and you need to extend the session
provider to add scalability of session info among nodes in cluster
