How to get notified of session end?

Question

I am wondering if I can handle a session timeout event. I need to make a function call to my function right before session timeouts or user left my page, or closed browser w

The web is stateless so you're not going to know whether the user has closed the browser window. You can use the 'Session_End' event in the global.asax file for session timeouts. If you want access to all sessions, you can store them in a collection via the 'Session_Start' event, also in the global file ..

Edit: If you want to intercept the close event of a page using javascript, here's how (note, this is unreliable):

window.onbeforeunload = closeIt;

function closeIt(){ 


  return "You have unsaved changes. Are you sure you want to leave this page?";

}
