Session time out 3

[jby1]

Hi

I am working on an ASP.NET application which uses Windows Integrated security.

When the session expires, I would like to display a message to the user explaining what has happened, and then redirect them to their start page.

Can anybody tell me how I may do this?

Regards

place this in your message page..

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="4;URL=YourPage.aspx">

this will redirect them to another page

Thanks, now all I need to so is get them to the message page!

Or you can do it server-side using Response.Redirect once you know the session has timed out and pass it through to the login page as a querystring e.g.

Response.Redirect("Login.aspx?TimeOut=True")

Then, on your login page you just have to check for the existence of the querstring value and display a message on the page if it does.

You will have to know your session has expired. On one of my apps I use the user ID as a session and pass it from page to page. maybe not the best way but it's an intranet site so that's why. but if the User ID session cannot be passed over to the next page I redirect them to my SessionTimeOut.aspx Page. which then tells them they will now be redirected to the login page. very simple.

Alternatively, in version 2.0 of the framework there is the new Session.IsNewSession() method.

IsNewSession is in Net Framework 1.1

The IsNewSession property seems to be something I can use for this, thanks guys!
