ASP.NET MVC Session Expiration

Question

We have an internal ASP.NET MVC application that requires a logon. Log on works great and does what\'s expected. We have a session expiration of 15 minutes. After sitting on

Answer 1

Here's how I did it...

In my base controller

 protected override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
    {
        if (!filterContext.HttpContext.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
        {
            if (filterContext.HttpContext.Request.IsAjaxRequest())
            {
                filterContext.HttpContext.Response.StatusCode = 403;
                filterContext.HttpContext.Response.Write(SessionTimeout);
                filterContext.HttpContext.Response.End();
            }
        }
    }

Then in my global .js file

$.ajaxSetup({
error: function (x, status, error) {
    if (x.status == 403) {
        alert("Sorry, your session has expired. Please login again to continue");
        window.location.href = "/Account/Login";
    }
    else {
        alert("An error occurred: " + status + "nError: " + error);
    }
}

});

The SessionTimeout variable is a noty string. I omitted the implementation for brevity.
