Session_End Event does not Fire.

[Guest]

All the documentation and discussion I have read indicate that the
Session_End is not supposed to fire unless you are in "inProc" Session state
mode, and then only on Session Timeout or at Session Abandon. I need the
event to fire at Session timeout in order to capture and store the Datetime
this occurs. However in the application I am writing, I have been unable
discern any indication that the event is firing. I have used break points,
writes to a database table, and writes to a text file to indicate when this
event fires. So far I have got nothing back. Yet I am able to verify the
the session has timed out. I have no indication of code failure, but nothing
happens when this event is supposed to fire. I really do need this so
information would be hugely appreciated.

1) How are you sure that the session has indeed timed out?
2) Are you sure whatever code you have in Session_End isn't failing due to a
coding error?
3) Show us the code you have for your Session_End handler

You didn't specify, but when do you expect the Session_End to
occur? It's 20 minutes (by default) after the last request for this
session, not (as a lot of people assume) as soon as the browser
closes or the user "navigates away".

See above my post 9/19/05 1:25 PST

Here:

Dim swObject As StreamWriter 'Text Stream Object
Dim sPath As String

sPath = Server.MapPath("testClose.txt")

swObject = File.CreateText(sPath)
swObject.Write("closing" & CStr(Now()))
swObject = Nothing

I used one of our few MS support calls and got the answer direct from the
source.

Hans,

At this point try putting a try catch around your OnSessionEnd Code.

Try
'---Your code here
Catch ex As Exception
Dim Test As String = "Place a breakpoint on this line and examine ""ex""
if the breakpoint is hit"
End Try

It's possible that your code is throwing an error before any breakpoint you
set is hit. This test may catch something.

Otherwise please show the code for your entire OnSessionEnd (Including all
the code even the declaration of the even handler.)
