using this Bromberg's SessionTimeoutControl.dll

[dualshock03]

Hello!! hey Guys!, i need help working this session timeOut control..

i downloaded this from Bromberg's article about detecting session timeout redirect control.. I try to referenced the .dll to my solution and use the control from toolbox.

My web app contains a login.aspx, a main.aspx and a timeout.htm page. In the main.aspx i put the SessionTimeoutControl then from its properties, i put the "timeout.htm" value to the RedirectUrl property.

Then from the Web.config file i write down the following codes:



<trace enabled="false"
requestLimit="10"
pageOutput="true"
traceMode="SortByTime"
localOnly="true"/>


<sessionState mode="InProc"
stateConnectionString="tcpip=127.0.0.1:42424"
sqlConnectionString="data source=127.0.0.1;Trusted_Connection=yes"
cookieless="true"
timeout="1"/>


That's it but when i try to test the whole application.. try to login then refresh the page at the main.aspx after 1 minute, the timeout.htm does not redirect at all. what am i missing here? maybe some session items? im attaching the .dll file here,, try to check it and reply me.. tnxx..!!!

The code works, but since the control isn't Visible it isn't rendered, so the code is never executed. This may be a change in ASP.Net since previous version 1.1. Anyway here is the same VB.Net code you can try with the page:

Protected Sub Page_PreRender(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
    If Context.Session IsNot Nothing Then
        If Context.Session.IsNewSession Then
            Dim sCookieHeader As String = Page.Request.Headers("Cookie")
            If sCookieHeader IsNot Nothing Then
                If sCookieHeader.IndexOf("ASP.NET_SessionId") >= 0 Then
                    If Page.Request.IsAuthenticated Then
                        Page.Response.Redirect("~/somepage.aspx")
                    End If
                End If
            End If                
        End If
    End If
End Sub

You also have to put something in Session for IsNewSession to operate as expected.
