Hi. I am trying to maintain a list of people who are currently "online" in
SQL. I do this by adding a simple entry to a simple PeopleOnline table
whenever someone logs in to my site.
If they manually log OUT of the site, I have no problem deleting them from
the PeopleOnline table. But if they just close the browser, I was assuming
I'd have to use the Session_End() event in Global.asax even though I know
that this will only occur once the user's session has timed out.
But I have two questions about this:
1. When this even occurs, can I still access that user's Session? In other
words, inside the Session_End() function, can I reference the Session[]
object?
2. During development from VS2005, how do I test this? The problem is that
when I close the broswer that I use from within VS, everything sort of dies
so I don't think that the Session_End() ever occurs. How can I debug?
Thanks.

You mean : "there is *no* reason to create any session variables at that stage",
No, I don't.
primarily because you can't *do anything* with a new session variable at that stage.
Of course you can do something with a session variable. There is hardly
any reason, though.
re:

Have you actually tried to do something useful with a new
session variable you have succeed in creating at that stage ?
No, I haven't. I don't need to try every single thing that I discuss in
newsgroups to know how it works. Sometimes I even answer questions about
things that I didn't even knew existed before I read the question...
If you can provide an example, maybe I'll have an easier time understanding your point.

You want that code to run every time a session ends ?
What will you do with session["cartId"] , now that you have created it ?

You missed the comment in the code? Ok, will it be clearer if I rewrite
the example like this?
session["UsedByRemo ve"] = session["CartId1"];
ShoppingCart.Re move();
session["UsedByRemo ve"] = session["CartId2"];
ShoppingCart.Re move();

I was wondering if someone could help me out with a Session_End problem in my Global.asax. I've tried everything, and still no success
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...

I would like to record user behavior data stored in session variables.
Since the data is modified throughout each session it seemed obvious to
store the data when the session terminates - using Session_End in
global.asax.
Problem is, apparently the session-object terminating cannot be accessed
from Session_End in global.asax!?
