Session End doesn't get called

[Jim Owen]

I know I';ve posted on this topic before, but it still doesn't work.

I have a Session_End event in my Global.asax file, but it never fires. I
have gone into my web.config file and in session state I changed the timeout
to "2" and made sure the mode was "InProc". Then I opened my app, did some
stuff, and closed it, expecting in two minutes' time the Session_End event
would fire (It updates the database from the Cache). But it doesn't. I've
tried running by hitting F5 in VS.Net, and have also tried by opening a
browser outside of VS. What am I missing here?

Hi Jim:

Check out the following URL:

In fact I had a very similar problem and heavily depending on Session_OnEnd and the above trick really works.

I'm not sure I understand. I'm using Session the way I use Cache, putting
Session-specific data in there, such as what record I'm currently editing,
etc. So how does that differ from what you're talking about?

You have to store something in the Session for Session_End to work.
In the Session on start event add this
Session("Started")="True"
Now your session_end should work.

I thought you are not storing anything in the Session. If you are not
storing any thing in the session variables, Session_end will not fire.

Why don't you try this. Crate one page in that create a session
variable and assign some value to it. Make it as start page and run it
by pressing F5. don't do any thing else. Check whether Session_End is
firing or not.

If it is firing at that time, there may be something wrong going in
the pages where you are storing values in session variables.
