It is easy to implement it in client side using script.
It works like this:
(1) When the page OnLoad in client side, set a timeout to process it.
(2) capture mouse activity in this page and reset the timeout
Following is the javascript
:
var tID = 0;
var IntTime;
function OnActive(page)
{
clearTimeout(tID);
tID = setTimeout("WindowIdle()", IntTime);
}
function OnPageLoad(page, timeout)
{
var body = page.document.body;
if (timeout 0)
{
IntTime = timeout;
}
// reset the timeout when the page is active
body.onclick=OnActive;
body.onmousemove=OnActive;
tID = setTimeout("WindowIdle()", IntTime);
}
function WindowIdle()
{
// do whatever you want, usually redirect to another page
}
Hope it is useful.

Using .NET 2.0...
How can I cause Windows Forms application to shut itself down after a
period (say 15 minutes) of [no user activity]? Specifically, I'm wanting
some options for detecting that the user is somehow using the application
(either detect mouse clicks or keyboard input).
The idea is that if the user walks away from their computer and is gone
for an extended period, then the app will close itself down to help curb
malicious use.
This is a Windows Forms MDI app.
Thanks.
