Session_End doesn't fire after uploading new code to live server

[Ben Fidge]

I use the session_end in global.asax to perform clean-up of a temporary
shopping cart table. Shoppping Cart items are stored with a session id in
the table, and when a session ends a small rountine checks the shopping cart
table and deletes any stray items.

This has worked a treat for weeks but stopped working today when I uploaded
news dlls and aspx pages to the live server using FTP.

Nothing has changed code-wise and all relevant settings are applied in
web.config.

Is this a known problem? The site in question is very busy and I'd like to
avoid stop-starting IIS id possible.

Kind regards

Ben

Hi Ben,

This has worked a treat for weeks but stopped working today when I uploaded
news dlls and aspx pages to the live server using FTP.

Offhand, I'd say it has something to do with the new dlls and aspx pages you
uploaded, in that case.

Nothing has changed code-wise and all relevant settings are applied in
web.config.

Then what was in the new dlls and aspx pages you uploaded?

Hi Kevin,

Sorry I wasn't very clear! There was minor changes to some of the pages html
and some small coding changes to the pages. The code in the global.asax
hasn't been changed for quite a while though.

Hi Ben,

Just because you didn't make any changes to the global.asax doesn't mean
that you didn't make any changes that affect your Sessions, which are
available to all of your code.

Here's the thing: Your app worked "a treat" until you performed a specific
action, which was uploading new code to the app. Therefore, the logical
first place to look for a problem would be in the new code you uploaded. In
other words, that is the most likely suspect, and would be therefore, the
first place to look. Always eliminate the most likely first. If that doesn't
work, look elsewhere.
