How to activate session_end in asp.net on closing the browser

[sundar_s1210]

I am doing a Shop Cart application

In my asp.net application, i want to delete some records from database
when user closes the browser without purchasing the product which is
added to shop cart.
I have written this logic in session_end,but it is not activated when
user closes the browser

Hi sundar:

The browser doesn't notify the server when it closes, Session_End
fires after a predetermined timeout period (configurable in web.config
- the default is 20 minutes).

That's right - closing the browser does not activate Session_End. Pretty
much the best you can hope for is to get your users to log out cleanly by
means of a Log Out button or somesuch which will postback and call the
Session.Abandon() method...
