Hello fellow netizens! I have two issues, discussed at length here in the forums. If you search the forums for "session" or "viewstate", you will know! I have a suspicion that the two issues may be related. More details: I have previously submitted a ticket about the session issue. What the techies told me was that the application pool was being re-started and I was given the 3 reasons why this may happen. You see these reasons quoted quite often @ Winhost. I enabled raw logs, but really, I'm not that advanced to track my programmer shortcomings What I would like / appreciate is for someone to suggest how I can monitor memory usage of my application so as to, for starts, determine if I am exceeding the (in)famous 100MB memory limit. This monitoring needs to happen locally as I already know that monitoring on Winhost is not possible due to the shared environment hosting; such monitoring needs higher permissions which I can never obtain. With thanks Soon-to-be-retired-programmer-from-sunny-Malta
had this similar problem you may have already found this suggestion but i had this same problem and read that setting a machine key in the web config would resolve the issue. i wasnt too sure about that, but i tried it, and in my case it resolved my problem with getting the error you are getting. i went to this link http://aspnetresources.com/tools/machineKey generated a key, copied it and pasted it in my web config and problem dissapeared. my particular error kept showing up when trying to page through a datagrid, after several pages, it would throw the error. Ive only been with Winhost for 1 day, i struggled with this yesterday, today its finding the magic combination to get my silverlight 4 to call my wcf and query the DB. ugh. Hope this helps.
Thanks pcbjc. I tried the machinekey trick. Still didn't work out for me. I had to rely on cookies to do the job and forget sessions. Not an ideal solution but it's the only thing that I could do. You seem to have had more luck than me!
