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.
