Logoff and terminate an ASP.NET session?

TR
What is the best practice for implementing a Logoff feature so that the
user's session is terminated and session state memory is released?
Thanks

Session.Abandon ();
and it can help to avoid confusion by closing the browser window as well.

Thanks. Seems almost too easy :-) Garbage collector handles cleanup of
session variables?

Thanks. We're not using Forms Auth at the moment, but would .SignOut() be
called instead of Session.Abandon ()? The docs read "[The SignOut method]
removes either durable or session cookies." Is that synonymous with
terminating the session?

No, use Session.Abandon also.

If I login after logoff, then rmiregistry is not responding though it shows the rmiregistry as "started" in "controlPanel->Admin->services". If I restart...

Does the breaking of an ODBC connection produce a logoff event? I can't seem to get it to. What I was hoping was to use a trigger to do automatic cleanup of session specific data. But the closing of the ODBC does not fire the logoff trigger, even though closing sqlplus does. Is there something I'm missing here? Is there a better way to cleanup session specific data when connecting through ODBC? I'm concerned with the case where the...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
