Display a Welcome Message using a Label

Question

Hi,

I have implemented a simple Welcome message display using a Label in my development environment that is hosted on a LocalHost. Its working quite fine. However, when i deployed it in live environment on a remote server, the Welcome Message is not getting displayed. I tried it in 2 different pages but still its not getting displayed. Any help? Thanks in advance

Here is the piece of code that i have structured:

.aspx extension

<center>
   <h2><b>Welcome to Baraamej Website</b></h2>
   <p>This is a private website</p>
    <asp:Label Style="color: green" Font-Bold="true" ID="Lbl_HellowMsg" Font-Size="XX-Large" runat="server" Text=""></asp:Label>
</center>

.cs extension

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    // display Welcome User Message
    if (!IsPostBack)
    {
        // display Hello User Message
        Lbl_HellowMsg.Text += "Welcome " + (String)Session["FullName"];
    }
}

Thanks

Hi Ahmed, check below setting in web.cofig file If it's true on live than your website must be run on https protocol else session variable will not work. Thanks Naimish Makwana

Hello, Form where you are assigning session variable Session["FullName"] value. check value set properly. check you web config is configure properly https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/ea588d8c-0065-4716-8b41-8d5c28902da7/iis-75-and-aspnet-40-deployment-not-retaining-session-variables?forum=aspconfiganddeploy

Hi Ahmed, Check if the session variable "FullName" is getting populated correctly, ensure that the session variable "FullName" is being set correctly and is not null. You can do this by debugging your code or adding a debug statement to check if the session variable is null or not. You can check if the label control is being rendered on the page by inspecting the HTML code of the page in your browser's developer tools. If the label control is not being rendered, it could be due to incorrect syntax or a problem with the ASP.NET server controls. Check that the ID of the label control is correct and matches the one specified in the code. Sometimes, when the code is deployed to a different environment, the control ID can get changed due to differences in the rendering of the HTML code. Sometimes, errors in the page can prevent the label control from being displayed. Check if there are any errors in the page by looking at the server logs or debugging the code.

Hi Naimish, The site is running on just http and not https protocol. There are no SSL configuration settings mentioned in web.config file. Thats why I am also wondering whats really is the issue. I have checked with hosting service provider if there are any configuration settings done on the server side in this regard, he said No. The issue is still open

Hi Jignesh, Thanks for your feedback. Well, sessions are correctly configured. Because I have set functionalities based on sessions like links enable/ dispable etc, they are correctly running. Actually, i only face these issues in production when i implement Label displays even for a simple as "Message Saved Successfully" that doesnt use session variable. Even these are not run in Production Also Beep sounds on button click are not run in production where as in Dev environment, they are working fine

Thank you and the rest of the guys who have responded. @Paul, Please find my feedback for the points you raised: 1. The session variable "FullName" is being populated properly. In fact the "FullName" is being displayed in the Header Button Menu 2. The label control is being rendered on the page and infact the "FullName" is displayed on the Label properly in Dev environment 3. The label control is being rendered on the page is correctly specified 4. Cant find any server errors as the rest of the contents in the web page are displayed properly. Only issues I see are these custom messages display. I have also implemented messages like "Record Saved Successfully" also using Labels. These too are not displayed And I have also implemented beep sounds. In production, they beep sounds are not run but in Dev environment they are working fine.
