What are the minimal requirements for an object which can be placed into this type of HttpSessionState?
Instances of the class (written in C#) must be placed into the session of an ASP.NET application deployed to a server cluster with distributed sessions. What are the minimal requirements for an object which can be placed into this type of HttpSessionState?

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
Here you go mate. This code sample uses properties and produces the desired result. I have overidden the other necessaries from the object class and added a default constructor which is necessary for XML serialization (this may not be need however).
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
namespace com.landsafe.eval
{
[Serializable()]
public class UserKey
{
private String _name; // private readonly String name;
private String _userId; // private readonly String userid;
public String Name
{
get { return _name; }
set { _name = value; }
}
public String UserId
{
get { return _userId; }
set { _userId = value; }
}
/// <summary>
/// Default constructor necessary for
/// XML serialization
/// </summary>
public UserKey()
{
_name = String.Empty;
_userId = String.Empty;
}
public UserKey(String name, String userId)
{
this._name = name;
this._userId = userId;
}
public override bool Equals(object obj)
{
if ((object)obj == null)
return false;
if(!(obj is UserKey))
return false;
return (this._name == (obj as UserKey)._name) && (_userId == (obj as UserKey)._userId);
}
public override string ToString()

If I move from Net Framework v1.1 to v2.0 ...do I need to make changes in the code above?
Sorry for taking so long to respond. I didn't realise you posted a comment. Yes this code definitely works in 2.0, 3.0, 3.5 and I am reasonably certain in works in 1.1.

Thank You very much!!! I would like to know your opinion--please see my question below:
Implement the Employee and Manager classes as showen on the diagram (the diagram.doc file). The classes should be in the com.landsafe.eval package, be public, and implement constructors that take the values to initialize all their attributes. The classes should be serializable.

Thank You very much!!! How can I add points??? It's not my assignment. I'm trying to learn C# deeper & was going thru some exersices. I recently found this website.
I don't know how that is done, without opening a question.
ASKER
OK...I'm ready to ask another question (and assign the max amount of points)...Could you please take a look? Thanks
Ask away
ASKER
I submitted a new Question (Use try..catch...)- 500 points. Please take a look at open questions. Is it a good programming practice? What's your opinion? Thanks
Just in case- the same code is below:
using System;
using System.IO;
public class ExceptionTest
{
public static void Main()
{
int i=-5;
try
{
if (i==-5)
throw new Exception("My exception");
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine("MESSAGE
}
finally
{
Console.WriteLine("Inside Finally.");
}
Console.WriteLine("End of application");
}
}

I have completed the following exercise & would like to know your opinion. Is there a better solution???
Exercise:
Instances of the following class must be placed into the session of an ASP.NET application deployed to a server cluster with distributed sessions and used as a key for a Hashtable of other
objects. Make the necessary modifications to the UserKey so that it meets the minimal requirements for an object which can be placed into this type of HttpSessionState and ensure the test code following the class definition below produces the indicated results. Modify the class to
use properties and provide full documentation.
namespace com.landsafe.eval
{
public class UserKey
{
private readonly String name;
private readonly String userid;
public UserKey(String name, String userid)
{
this.name = name;
this.userid = userid;
}
public String GetName()
{
return name;
}
public String GetUserID()
{
return userid;
}
}
}
Test Code (ensure the results are as indicated in the comments).
NOTE: Do NOT modify this test code. Ensure your code can return the indicated results without
any alteration to this test suite.
UserKey b1 = new UserKey( Bill Smith , BSMITH );
UserKey b2 = new UserKey( Bill Smith , BSMITH );
UserKey b3 = new UserKey( Susan Smith , SSMITH );
UserKey b4 = new UserKey(null,null);
System.Console.WriteLine( b1.Equals(b1) ); // prints true
System.Console.WriteLine( b1.Equals(b2) ); // prints true
System.Console.WriteLine( b1.Equals(b3) ); // prints false
System.Console.WriteLine( b1.Equals(null) ); // prints false
System.Console.WriteLine( b1.Equals( Some String ) ); // prints false
System.Console.WriteLine( b4.Equals(b1) ); // prints false
Hashtable ht = new Hashtable();
ht.Add(b1, Some Data );
String s = (String) ht[b1];
System.Console.WriteLine( s.Equals( Some Data ) ); // prints true
//My solution:

{

public class UserKey
{
public String name; // private readonly String name;
public String userid; // private readonly String userid;

this.userid = userid;
}
/*
public String GetName()
{
return name;
}
public String GetUserID()
{
return userid;
} */
public bool Equals(UserKey p) // I added
{
// If parameter is null return false:
if ((object)p == null)
{
return false;
}
// if p is not a UserKey reference ...return false
if (! ReferenceEquals( this.GetType(),p.GetType()

return false;
}
// Return true if the fields match:
return (this.name == p.name) && (this.userid == p.userid);
