Explain server side state management with example.
In : BSc IT Subject : Web Application Development - ASP.NETServer-side state management refers to storing user or application data on the server during a user's interaction with a web application. Unlike client-side methods (like cookies or local storage), this data is not stored on the user’s device, making it more secure and reliable.
Common Server-Side Techniques:
-
Session State
-
Application State
-
Database Storage
Example: Using Session State in ASP.NET
Suppose you're building a login system:
// Login.aspx.cs – Store user name in session after successful login
Session["Username"] = "JohnDoe";
// Welcome.aspx.cs – Retrieve the username from session
string user = Session["Username"]?.ToString();
lblWelcome.Text = "Hello, " + user;
When the user navigates across pages, the server remembers their name using session , which is stored in memory (or a database) on the server.
