Session timeout

My application has the session timeout set for say 5 mins.

After 5 mins the session state is lost and I want to re-direct the user back to login page.

Can this be done in 1 place without having to check the session value on the page_load sub-routine in every page?

Many thanks,

IIRC, u can do this with security, if you protect all the pages that cant be seen without being logged in with the password, or logged in token.

But I may be wrong, its been a while since I did asp.net
 
Or, if you have a common include file, such as one that renders a menu, a header, etc. cant you just check for it there, as that page would be called in every page?
 
I do have an include file which renders a header & footer. I shall try putting it in there.

Thanks for your suggestion.
