i have web app and on session timeout and user interaction on the page, this needs to redirect to home/landing page
solutions found on the net
1) Session check in page_load of all the aspx pages of the application.
2) code in session start of global.asax
public void Session_Start
{
Response.Redirect("home.aspx");
// or Server.Transfer("home.aspx");
}
I am going for 2nd option,let me know
1) whether i am in right way or any better solutions for this?
2) in the second option whether to use Response.Redirect or Server.Transfer
-Thanks
Why don't you use JavaScript to do it? you can use setTimeout
method like
<script type="text/javascript">
setTimeout('window.location = "home.aspx"', 3000);
</script>
Put the above js code block into the page header which 3000 is your session timeout.
I will go for the first one and do check for the session.....
Write following code in OnInit method of the Master page will do your tack easily
/// <summary>
/// Check for the session time out
/// </summary>
/// <param name="e"></param>
protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
{
base.OnInit(e);
if (Context.Session != null)
{
//check whether a new session was generated
if (Session.IsNewSession)
{
//check whether a cookies had already been associated with this request
HttpCookie sessionCookie = Request.Cookies["ASP.NET_SessionId"];
if (sessionCookie != null)
{
string sessionValue = sessionCookie.Value;
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(sessionValue))
{
// we have session timeout condition!
Response.Redirect("Home.aps");
}
}
}
}
}
