How can I redirect to a page when the user session expires?

Question

I am currently working on an web application that uses ASP.NET 2.0 framework. I need to redirect to a certain page, say SessionExpired.aspx, when the user session expires. T

If I understand correctly, "Session_End" fires internally and does not have an HTTP context associated with it:

Therefore I don't think you could use it to redirect the user. I've seen others suggest using the "Session_OnStart()" event in the global.ascx file:

I have not tried it, but putting the following code in "global.ascx" might work for you:

void Session_OnStart() {
    if (Session.IsNewSession == false )
    {
    }
    else 
    {
        Server.Transfer("SessionExpired.aspx", False);
    }
}
