Releasing A Session

[One Handed Man [ OHM# ]]

Scenario.

PDA connecting to a web service method using a reference on XP professional ( IIS ). XP limited to 10 sessions. How can the session be released once the method has finished. IE to log off the user as this prevents others using the service.

Thanx

i am not aware of the number of session one can have on iis 5.1

but y do you need session for a webservice ? webservice is meant for stateless calls...

the web method is being called from the pda, once called it uses up a session. Question is how to release it ?

The error is defined as: The request failed with HTTP status 403: Access Forbidden.

The issue we have in light of this restriction, is that we can find no explicit way to release a session in IIS from the PDA application when it is finished making the web method call. So the example would be;

In the PDA app create a new reference to the Web Service
Call the web method
As there is no dispose obviously available in the compact framework for the web service, contrary to a Windows application, we have tried calling a garbage collector collect.
This does not seem to release our IIS session reference there and then. Even doing the equivalent using a windows application, and calling a dispose on the web reference does not clear up the session.
We need to explicitly be able to create the Web reference, call the web method and explicitly there and then free up the IIS session by releasing the session reference.

How can this be done? I have tried playing around with IIS settings, but not with not much success.

If we close the PDA application then the session is immediately released. This is the behaviour we want to programatically be able to produce!

in your webserver's web.config... set the mode in your sessionState to none

have a look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...us/cpgenref/html/gngrfsessionstatesection.asp

for more information on <sessionState> element
