Hi,
I have an application that needs to save some info in the database when the
user closes the application by clicking the x box in the right top corner of
the window.
I tried the session_end event in the global module but it only fires with
the timeout, not when the app is closed.
Application_end doesn't work either.
I use InProc in web.config.
Thanks

Ah yes - this one comes up fairly regularly...
I tried the session_end event in the global module but it only fires with
the timeout, not when the app is closed.
That's right - the server has no knowledge whatever of what is happening in
the browser until / unless the browser sends it another HttpRequest, due to
the disconnected architecture of the web. This is a common misconception.. .
Application_end doesn't work either.
Indeed not - Application_End fires when the final live session is torn down,
either through code or through automatic timeout.
I use InProc in web.config.
Irrelevant...
Your only option is to try to use the client-side window.onunload event: http://www.google.co.uk/search?sourc...ow%2eunload%22
However, be aware that this is not guaranteed to work the same way for all
browsers across all platforms, and will almost certainly also fire if the
user refreshes the page...

There is no way to detect with certainty when the browser window is closed.
If it's really vital for you to save the information in the DB as soon
as possible, the only way I can think of is having a web service
periodically "ping" the server. When the "ping" stops, it means that the
user closed the window, or that he navigated to another page.
However, the normal way to do things is to use Session_End. Why can't
you wait until Session_End?
HTH,
Laurent

Session timeout is the correct place to do this, so work your strategy
around that and ignore whats happening at the client. Your server code
knows nothing about the browser being closed, or even if it has a window at
all and isn't a simple tcp socket call over http from a webservice.

Hi,
In my application, on some given actions while debugging in Visual Studio, I
suddenly get a "System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception was unhandled"
Message="Error creating window handle." exception.
The problem is that this exception isn't raised somewhere in a method, so it
just shows up, and it causes the application to shut down.
Is there anyway how to catch this kinds of exceptions? Can I put somewhere a

Should I allow the exception to bubble to the top most point it can in a

Another wish of mine. I wish there was a way in the Try Catch structure
to say if there wasn't an error to do something. Like an else
statement. Try Catch Else Finally.
Also because I understand Finally runs whether an error was caught or
not, I haven't found a use for finally yet.

Hi
I am developing an intranet based ASP.NET application. Due to high
security on site the application needs to run accross two separate
domains (only http and https ports are open). The application
autenticates users via a form and security info is held in a database
table.
When users are on either domain they have the same windows username,
but the application server is only running on one domain.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
