Using  VS2002 - VB -- Access 2002 --- Web forms
I'm to figure out why my session_end is not firing.
I'm wrote a process to time people in my web site.
I log them in at session_start works flawlessly.
Now i try to log them out in the session_end event and nothing.
i put response.redirect("http//www.whatever.com") in the session_end
I tried session.timeout = 1 and i wait nothing
i tried session.abandon  i wait and nothing
i put database update code in session_end and repeat the above and nothing.
Below is the webconfig file setting
  <sessionState 
            mode="InProc"
            stateConnectionString="tcpip=127.0.0.1:42424"
            sqlConnectionString="data source=127.0.0.1;user id=sa;password="
            cookieless="false" 
            timeout="20" 
    />

I'm assuming if the session_start is working then this is set correctly.
What am i doing wrong?

also

how can i catch the closeing X on a web form and/or the file>exit
and/or changing websites. these are not important so if not super ez
then forget it. just want to time people.
will tip if t

Hi,

This may be a setting in the hosting. Are you hosting locally in IIS
or is it remote? Can you tell me what software is being used to host
if its remotely and I may be able to help you.

Thanks

This is remotely hosted web sites. I believe the hosting softwaer is
IIS but i will have to verify.


I'm not using forms forms uthentication, but I will look at the namespace.

It's running on windows 2003 server.

Not using forms authenication. so FormsAuthentication.SignOut()
wouldn't work i don't think.

Have you tried FormsAuthentication.SignOut() within the
System.Web.Security namespace. Let me know if this works so I can
submit it as an answer, I also have javascript code for whenever a
user tries to leave your page with the X, file-exit, etc.

The Session_End event is being called, it is just that a
Server.Transfer or Response.Redirect command cannot be called from
this event. The reason for this is that the server would in effect be
trying to communicate with an 'expired' session (it's a rather
puritanical approach but that is how it works). Try putting some code
before the Server.Transfer and you can see it being called, however
the subsequent redirect line will be ignored.
