Redirect when a session ends

[Mayfield2268]

Is there a way to redirect to a different page in the Session_End procedure of global.asax?

 

Thanks

[fadi]

the usual way to redirect to any page is:

response.redirect("mypage.aspx")

u can palce it wherever u want or need

didnt that work???

I don't think that the Response.Redirect works in the Session_End event in Global.asax.

Certain objects are unavailable to you in the Session_End event. I believe that the Response object is one of them.

It seems to me that there are 2 possible ways of doing what you want to do:

1. have the Web server call out to the client browser and redirect the page. I have no ideas on how to get that done.

2. have the browser use a timer set to the session time-out period and redirect the page. a Meta refresh tag could do this, although Im not sure if there is a limit on how long a meta refresh can be set.

 

Good luck

There is no accurate or appropriate method of determining when a session ends due to an event on the client. You need to re-evaluate your approach.

Once seesion is expired.further browsing thru the application is not possible noramlly.

 

I.e: it results in anerror.

 

U may use the following method to redirect the page

 

open the web.config file

 

u can set mode to off ,on or remoteonly according to ur need

give the page name in the defaultredirect page

<customErrors defaultRedirect="redirect.aspx" mode="Off" />

good article on specifying a page to redirect to when a user session times out. I think this is what you need

I don't think this solution is good, because the application will reload after certain intervals. What if user input data half way and the page automatic reload?

 

But in web application, there is no perfect way to do that. For me, I will rather put this session validation in Page_Load event. If user press "Submit" button, I will save the data first before redirect him to login page.

 

If possible, use Cookies rather than Session, at least there is no time out issue.
