Hey guys I have a user tracking setup to track users. What it does is once a
user hits my site it sends me an email telling me some info and once a user
clicks the logout button it sends a second email that tells me what pages
the visited, how long they were on each page, etc. The second email is in
the Session_End Sub and the first is in the Session_Start. Now my question
is Why is it that the Session_End is never fired. I was forced to put the
code to send the second email on the logout.aspx page so when they click
logout then it sends it; THAT WORKS. But what happends when a user just
closes the browser window or goes to another site wihtout clicking logout.
Can someone tell me how I would fix this or why the Session_End is not being
fired at ALL. Thanks

Session_End is not a very reliable place to put this kind of code. In Logout
page you can call Sessiob.Abandon . Then you will get the event. But if user
simply logs out, you will never get the event untill Session times out. The
approach you have right now, i.e. sending when LogOut button is clciked is
the only and recommended way to get it done.

The session will time out after 20 minutes of no page
requests from the
user.
This default time interval is configurable in your
web.config file.
After the session times out the Session_End event will be
called in your
Global.asax file.
You can terminate the session manually by calling
Session.Abandon , but be
aware this will cause the Session_End event to not be
called. But that's
not so bad. Just take your code from the Session_End
event, put it in a
separate function, then call that function from both your
Session_End event
and whenever you call Session.Abandon .
Here's more details for you: http://www.asp.net/Forums/ShowPost.aspx?

Why are my sessions lasting so long?
I have them set to 20 minute timeout in config file?
The Session_End event is getting called an hour or more sometimes--well
after the user has stopped interacting with my site.
Anyone have any insight?
Thanks in advance

I've noticed some procedures don't run in the global.asax when you'd expect
them to. I've rebuilt and set break points, but Application_Start just isn't
firing today. Is there some configuration that prevents this from happening?
I've never gotten Session_End to fire either.

I have what I thought was a simple task. When the user's
session times out I want to save some data to a database
so that these can be retrieved the next time the user
connects. I have therefore put this in the Session_End
procedure of the global.asax.vb file.
The problem is that nothing seems to happen. So either the
Session_End is not firing or there is some issue with
using the sqlclient at this time?

Here is the scenario: sessionstate is set to InProc. I have timeout set to 1 min
I have a variable in session_start that is incremented each new session, and it is then decremented in Session_End. I use this variable on a web form to show current users online. All of this works just fine, so I...

All the documentation and discussion I have read indicate that the
Session_End is not supposed to fire unless you are in "inProc" Session state
mode, and then only on Session Timeout or at Session Abandon. I need the
event to fire at Session timeout in order to capture and store the Datetime
this occurs. However in the application I am writing, I have been unable
discern any indication that the event is firing. I have used break...
