Session time-out

[Marcelo]

Thanks George, Kevin. I think I need to clarify. I wasn't
expecting the browser to be smart enough to know when a
session did terminate, neither trying to implement a
timer of any kind.

I completely understand (and I have tested it) that the
only way for the web server to know that a session has
timed-out is by placing a request to the server.

I assumed that this was understood in my e-mail. I am
going to clarify all this by saying that after the
session timed-out and after a request has been placed,
the redirection code that I put in the Global.asax.vb
file did not working.

I have already found a work around. So in the mean time I
will use what I came up with.

If any of you know of the "right" way of doing this,
please let me know.

Thank you both.

Thanks George, Kevin for the replies.

Hi Marcelo,

You can use Response.AddHeader("Refresh",Convert.ToString
((Session.Timeout+ 1))) in Page_Load to cause the page refresh when the
session is timeout. You also can use
"Response.AddHeader("Refresh",Convert.ToString ((Session.Timeout+
1))+";URL=login.aspx")" to redirect the page to login page.

Check this link, I think it is helpful.

Please let me know if you need more information.

Best Regards,
Lewis

Watch out: Session.Timeout is in minutes and Refresh works in seconds!
You need to work a " * 60 " in there.
