Hello,

I am making use of session level variables through out the ASP.NET web application and I have session timeout set to 20 minutes. If I leave the browser idle for more than 20 minutes and then come back and do some task in the application and that task require using session variable, i get the error since the session was timedout.

To handle this issue I put Response.Redirect(safepage.aspx) into the Session_OnEnd event in global.aspx.vb. I tested it and found that when session timed out Session_OnEnd got fired but nothing happened. I mean Response.redirect didnt work.

Is it right to use Response object in Session event? Or is there a some other way to handle this issue.

Thanks,

Since there is no connection between the browser and the server when the session is over (If there was, the session wouldn't end) you can't do a redirect in the session end event. HOWEVER, you could check if the session is active when the page it hit and redirect if there is no active logged-in session.
