Session Timeout Warn & redirect to login page

Hi,

You can use "setTimeout" function in javascript. You can set time in milliseconds. After that time the message will be prompted.

setTimeout(function() { if (confirm("Your session expired due to inactivity. Please click [OK] to login again.")) { window.location.href = "login.aspx" } }, 1200000);

Select allOpen in new window

Check following

Session.Timeout and Forms.Authentication.Timeout are two different animals, for these things to work as intended, both need to be in synch.

    ' Get the current Forms.Authentication.Timeout as a timespan
    ' The amount of time in minutes after which the authentication expires. 
    Dim currentFormsTimeout As System.TimeSpan = FormsAuthentication.Timeout

    ' Synch session timeout and forms timeout
    Session.Timeout = currentFormsTimeout.TotalMinutes

Select allOpen in new window

Then you can use something like this Preventing Session Timeouts in C# ASP .NET to extend the timeout period.

I've requested that this question be closed as follows:

Accepted answer: 0 points for learntechnology's comment #a38407592

for the following reason:

Since other solutions are not feasible to the requirement. I have implemented the following code after thorough analysis and testing.<br /><br />&lt;meta http-equiv=&quot;refresh&quot; content=&quot;0060; URL=/Account/SessionExpire<wbr />d.aspx&quot; /&gt;

Since my solution is feasible after testing, i'm comfortable to close this request. If anyone has better solution than this with simple code, i would be happy to accept that solution.

Below code redirects to the session expired page if the screen is inactive for 1 minute.

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0060; URL=/Account/SessionExpired.aspx" />

Above code works good after testing.
