No, not on this one and people ask this all the time. &nbsp;Like you said, nothing gets sent to the server under those conditions. &nbsp;Normally sessions use 'session cookies' which expire when the browser is closed but not when just a tab is closed. &nbsp;The session variables should expire when the session times out. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
The closest anyone has come is a javascript 'pinger' that uses AJAX to let the server know that the window for the session is still open. &nbsp;What that really does is continuously reset the session timer to extend the session.

<br />
After doing some research, I'm afraid there might not be a good answer to this since there's no page request to our site when a user does that, but you guys have surprised me before.

Removing Session Variables on Leaving site.

The successor to Active Server Pages, ASP.NET websites utilize the .NET framework to produce dynamic, data and content-driven web applications and services. ASP.NET code can be written using any .NET supported language. As of 2009, ASP.NET can also apply the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern to web applications

ASP.NET

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented programming language implemented on the .NET framework, but also supported on other platforms such as Mono and Silverlight. Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,
