Response GZIP Compression not working .net

I need to compress json response, I have tried IIS dynamic compression and used below code to compress but compression is not working it always Content-Type:application/json; charset=utf-8, Gzip headers are properly send to server. I have tried the code below.There is nothing in failed request tracing. Please suggest a solution.
class CompressFilterAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute
{
public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
{
HttpRequestBase request = filterContext.HttpContext.Request;
string acceptEncoding = request.Headers["Accept-Encoding"];
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(acceptEncoding)) return;
acceptEncoding = acceptEncoding.ToUpperInvariant();
HttpResponseBase response = filterContext.HttpContext.Response;
if (acceptEncoding.Contains("GZIP"))
{
response.AppendHeader("Content-encoding", "gzip");
response.Filter = new GZipStream(response.Filter, CompressionMode.Compress,true);
}
else if (acceptEncoding.Contains("DEFLATE"))
{
response.AppendHeader("Content-encoding", "deflate");
response.Filter = new DeflateStream(response.Filter, CompressionMode.Compress);
}
}
}
I have this settings in web.config file
<httpCompression directory="%SystemDrive%\inetpub\temp\IIS Temporary Compressed Files">

ErrorSystem.Data.OleDb.OleDbException (0x80004005): ORA-12504: TNS:listener was not given the SERVICE_NAME in CONNECT_DATA

I am working on a c# project to register a new user in visual studio and using toad for database.The code to conect to database is:
protected void New_User(object sender, EventArgs e)

try

OledbAdapter.InsertCommand = new OleDbCommand(sql, conn);
OledbAdapter.InsertCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
Label_success.Text = "Successfully inserted into database";
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Label_success.Text = "Error" + ex.ToString();

finally

Session getting lost after publishing (works on dev machine)

I'm working on a Holiday Tracker application and one specific thing is killing the whole "page life cycle".
In my User Scheduler, where every user can insert his vacation, sometimes it's working (and so he can insert/delete/edit and view his vacation). There is also a Vacation page (same story there, just with a grid).
But sometimes the session that is set is getting lost. If I'm debugging with Visual Studio 2012, it's working. But if I publish the application, it's not working. It just gets lost somehow
Code in Global.asax.cs
void Session_Start(object sender, EventArgs e) {
// Code that runs when a new session is started
if (HttpContext.Current.User != null && HttpContext.Current.User is HtUser)
{
HtUser user = (HtUser)HttpContext.Current.User;
Session["UserId"] = user.UserId;
if(user.HtDepartments.Any() && user.HtDepartments.First().HtBusinessUnit != null){
int BusinessUnitId = user.HtDepartments.First().HtBusinessUnit.BusinessUnitId;
Session["BusinessUnitId"] = BusinessUnitId;
}
}
}
I think that maybe the error is there.

If you need something more, just let me know.

If you are using InProc session storage and publish your application, the application pool gets recycled by the IIS and the w3wp.exe process respawns. Your session data is then lost immediately.
If that is the problem you're having, and you want to avoid it, there are options for storing your session elsewhere (such as in a database). See the MSDN article on ASP.NET Session-State Modes for more information.

session abandon is not working in ASP.NET

I have developed a web site and I store data in session.If a user abondan the session,I have to set the data in session.
Logout.aspx :
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
WebUser user = (WebUser)Session["User"];
Session["User"] = null;
Session.Abandon();
if (user != null)
SentiWordnetUtils.LogYaz(user.uAdi + "\t Çıkış Yaptı");
if ((Request.Cookies["OturumRef"] != null))
Response.Cookies["OturumRef"].Value = string.Empty;
Response.Redirect("Login.aspx");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
LogYaz( "Oturum Sonlandırma Hatası "+ex.Message.ToString());
}
}
session_end function in global.asax :
void Session_End(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
List<TBL_SentiWordNet> tempList = (List<TBL_SentiWordNet>)Session["listProcess"];
if (tempList == null)
return;
using (DataClassesDataContext dc = new DataClassesDataContext())
{
foreach (TBL_SentiWordNet word in tempList)
{
var a = (from i in dc.TBL_SentiWordNets where i.id == word.id select i).FirstOrDefault();
a.state = 0;
}
dc.SubmitChanges();
}
Session["listProcess"]= null;
Session["User"] = null;
}
This code is working on local but isn't working on IIS. a.state never isn't 0

Session End never truly fires, because when it does execute, it's after the page request is complete and the request has already been sent to the client.
You'll need to do the session_end code in your page, or in a base page class (very handy for this sort of thing).
See the following S.O. links:
Session_End does not fire?
What is the difference between Session.Abandon() and Session.Clear()

FormsAuthentication and Roles problems

What is this garbage in the URL? After login I am directed to:
http://localhost:1337/%28F%2883mI1fhnT6Sm1XopiPcErGYaqCafgnoSL_hgFJi9u7MwncoR98KOirf8GuqRVFfAbZN9mR1IH6W8LQQIeHTd4NcR5BKHAVvZrmcIoDTGTf01%29%29/
When I debug I see that in Global.asax as well as AccountController my userRoles/accessLevel are correctly being found and inserted as part of the authentication ticket. My attributes set required roles to view the action. GET loads and when I save POST prompts for login which continually loops. Any idea what's goin on? Also, when I output my authTicket.UserData I see my roles (Author|Admin) yet HttpContext.User.IsInRole("Author"); && HttpContext.User.IsInRole("Author"); return false. Do I need roleManager enabled in web.config? And what do I set it to given me placing this info in the ticket?
