Missing Viewstate

Getting nearer - but its more complicated. The Logging issue above is
still worrying but I have commented that out. This code appears to be
the offender

HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)base.GetWebRequest(uri);
request.ProtocolVersion = HttpVersion.Version10;
request.Headers.Add("Accept-Encoding", "gzip, deflate");
if (mCallMetrics != null)
{
mCallMetrics.NetworkSendStarted = DateTime.Now;
request.Headers.Add("X-EBAY-API-METRICS", "true");
}
return request;

However, the code then goes on to do some trickery reading and writing
to memorystreams. Could this be upsetting the session being delivered
to the browser?

Maybe, but when offending code is commented out as discussed I can
visit the page as often as I want and the session remains in tact.
Something somewhere is upsetting the session.

OK - some code - but its getting detailed so hope someone can help.

After invoking the webservice the code ends up here

public override void ProcessMessage
(System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapMessage Message) {
if ((Message.Stage ==
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapMessageStage.Bef oreSerialize)) {
}
else {
if ((Message.Stage ==
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapMessageStage.Aft erSerialize)) {
this.SaveRequestMessage(Message);
this.Copy(mStrNew, mStrOld);
}
else {
if ((Message.Stage ==
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapMessageStage.Bef oreDeserialize)) {
this.SaveResponseMessage(Message);
}
else {
if ((Message.Stage ==
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapMessageStage.Aft erDeserialize)) {
}
else {
throw new System.ArgumentException
(System.String.Format
(System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture , "Invalid Soap
Message stage [{0}]", Message.Stage), "Message");
}
}
}
}
}


It actually traces to this part
if ((Message.Stage ==
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapMessageStage.Aft erSerialize)) {
this.SaveRequestMessage(Message);
this.Copy(mStrNew, mStrOld);

And it si the copy routine which causes the problem (but also gets me
the data I need).

/// <summary>
///
/// </summary>
/// <param name="StrFrom"></param>
/// <param name="StrTo"></param>
private void Copy(System.IO.Stream StrFrom, System.IO.Stream
StrTo) {
if (StrFrom.CanSeek) {
StrFrom.Position = 0;
}
System.IO.TextReader TxtReader = new System.IO.StreamReader
(StrFrom);
System.IO.TextWriter TxtWriter = new System.IO.StreamWriter
(StrTo);
TxtWriter.WriteLine(TxtReader.ReadToEnd());
TxtWriter.Flush();
if (StrTo.CanSeek) {
StrTo.Position = 0;
}
}

Is something there stopping the session propagating?

PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!!

http://weblogs.asp.net/owscott/archi...21/438678.aspx

The eBay API was writing a log file in the bin folder!!!!! And a
change here causes a session reset. I have moed the log file and
problem solved. Should of stuck to my first LogMessage hunch!

Thank you both for your help! GOing to scour some groups for 10
minutes now answering other peeoples questions (on sql) where I can!
