awwww, did i hurt your little feelings? too bad i don't care.
you see, unlike you, i'm not still whinning about our little disagreement, as a matter of fact, i don't even remember what the hell you don't like me for (lmmfao, not that i care).

but yes, i AM a smart ass, and i'm also an assh*le, a bast*rd etc. but i don't care about what people think, so it doesn't matter to me.

to be honest, i think your mad because someone who has only been teaching himself programming for about 2 months has proven you wrong about something.
you need to realize something matt, i LOVE to argue (especially when i'm right), so you won't win with me.

Alex, you just don't comply with standard norms of expected behavior for these forums. This is primarily a support forum, not an argument forum. If you want to argue, you should find another forum that supports what you like to do.

Also, FYI, on almost 99% of web text based communication, capital letters are considered shouting. Apparently you understand that norm now since you've switched how you type, but why you didn't know that is pretty perplexing.

I think there needs to be clarification, and that is that you can't expect Session_OnEnd to fire when you want it to, not that it never will fire. I don't see anything on the internet saying that it won't fire, and like Alex I'm confused about why the two developers prior were saying it won't fire. What I do see is that there is a 20 minute default, and since 20 minutes is a long time in web programming, it just feels like it never fires. If you do what Alex says and reduce the time through whatever system property adjusts session timeout time, you can see it fire. Otherwise, you need something like a "logout" page and have asp code in there which manually calls session-onend. Then it will fire.

If I am one of the two developers saying that Session_OnEnd doesn't always fire, then here's one of the reasons: And here's another: Both are actually very true.


I also said this: My explanation below that quote says that it doesn't fire right after you close the browser, but after the timeout or by other means.

So generally, Session_OnEnd does fire in a lot of circumstances. However, it's not a transactional process so it's not guaranteed to fire. But for most practical purposes (not including ASP.NET Sql Server session state) you can assume it fires.

While typing this post, I was listening to: Finished Symphony (Soundtrack Mix) / Hybrid by Various Artists (Track 10 from the album: Ibiza Lounge) What's This?

That was a great clarification. Thank you.
