angularjs and asp.net sessions

Question

User-1652363262 posted

i made a little website with a login and translations, for the translations i need to check the session for what language it should get.

        [WebMethod(EnableSession = true)]
        public DTOLogin logOn(string username, string password, string returnUrl, string culture)
        {
            Session["CurrentUI"] = culture;
            string EmployerPrefix = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["EmployerPrefix"].ToString() + "#";
            string IPStart = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["IMIPADS"].ToString();
            string IPEnd = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["IMIPADE"].ToString();
            General g = new General();
            string Clientipadres = g.GetVisitorIPAddress(false);

            string Ldapserver = "";
            var result = new DTOLogin();

            ...........

                    Session["MainConnection"] = ps.MainConnection;
                    Session["TG"] = usrctrl;
                    Session["login"] = 1;
                    Session["TGSKIP"] = "0";
                    FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(EmployerPrefix + username, false);
                    result.LoggedOn = true;
                    result.SessionId = HttpContext.Current.Session.SessionID;
                    if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(returnUrl))
                    {
                        result.RedirectUrl = returnUrl;
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        result.RedirectUrl = "Dashboard";
                    }
                    return result;

on my login i send back this dtologin which includes sessionid.

in my rootscope i have my login function (which is working)

    $scope.login = function () {
        authFactory.login($scope.loginData.userName, $scope.loginData.password, '', 'nl-BE')
            .success(function (data) {
                var loginModel = data.d;
                $scope.IMSec = loginModel.IMSec;
                if (loginModel.LoggedOn) {
                    document.cookie = 'ASP.NET_SessionId=' + loginModel.SessionId + ';Path=/;';
                    //$cookieStore.put('ASP.NET_SessionId', loginModel.SessionId)
                    $location.path('/dashboard');
                }
                else {
                    $scope.message = "No access"
                }
            })

    };

i checked in chrome developer mode the cookie ASP.NET_SessionId is being created with the right sessionid.

but now once i come into the dashboard the translations will be loaded (as this is the first place my imtranslate directive will be used)

        [WebMethod(EnableSession = true)]
        public List<DictionaryEntry> getTranslations()
        {
            General g = new General();
            var ps = g.NewPageSorter(); // ps retrieves session variables used in the login

            var resPath = HttpContext.Current.Request.PhysicalApplicationPath + "App_GlobalResources\\inMedio.resx";
            var t = new System.Resources.ResXResourceReader(resPath);

            var myList = new List<DictionaryEntry>();
            foreach (DictionaryEntry item in t)
            {
                myList.Add(item);
            }
            return myList;
        }

it's not a full method yet but it should work but once i try to get my old session vars it seems they're empty and my session wasn't saved. 
when i check httpcontext.current.session i see there is a new session instead of using the old one.

it seems to me the session cookie is just being ignored.
