I have an application that uses Session and will throw an exception if the Session has timed out. What is the best way to handle session time-outs?

Thank-you,

After login you can add the username to a Session variable

Session("user") = "UserName"

On the page load Check

if Session("UserName") is Nothing Then

Response.Redirect("Login.aspx")

End if

Thus whenever session expires user will be sent back to login page

 I've done this in the past in global.asax (Session_End), but there might be other ways, why exactly do you want to throw an exception when ever a session times out? in what context are you trying to do this?

Hi,

read this site. it show's how to redirect to another page with javacript, without user interaction

At page level you can check session on each pageload like this.. 

if(Session["Session_Name"]==null) 

Response.Redirect("login.aspx"); 

 Or

 If you want to redirect the page immediately(with out any user action) after session expires then consider this approach. HTTP is stateless, so you have to refresh the page after session expired. Check this code..  

Response.AppendHeader("Refresh",
Convert.ToString((Session.Timeout * 60) + 15) & ";
URL=Login.aspx")
