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

Are you looking to redirect on the next request, or redirect immediately, without user intervention? If you're looking to redirect without user intervention, then you can use ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript on your Master Page to inject a bit of javascript that will redirect your clients when their session expires.

    System.Text.StringBuilder sb = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
    String timeoutPage = "SessionExpired.aspx"; // your page here
    int timeoutPeriod = Session.Timeout * 60 * 1000;

    sb.AppendFormat("setTimeout(\"location.href = {0};\",{1});", timeoutPage, timeoutPeriod);
    Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "timeourRedirect", sb.ToString(), true);
