Counting online users using asp.net

Question

I\'m to create a website for which I need to count the online users and show it on the home page all the time. I\'m not interested to apply ready-to-use modules for it. Here

Answer 1

You could use onUserExit jQuery plugin to call some server side code and abandon the session. Activate onUserExit on document ready :

And in EndSession.ashx abandon the session and server side Session_End will be called :

public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
{
  context.Session.Abandon();
  context.Response.ContentType = "text/plain";
  context.Response.Write("My session abandoned !");
}

note that this will not cover all cases (for example if user kills browser trough task manager).
