I am working with an httpmodule ive created with the aim of keeping a users session alive with a call to an existing validatesession method in the application.
2 issues i am having is firstly i cannot seem to get the users sessionid (a static class), this sessionid is always returning as an empty guid even after it is set in the logon controller.
secondly i do not seem to be able to instantiate the class i need to call the validatesession method. we use simple injector and i am doing a new registration (as i have no constructor to pass the instance across)... but this (_useraccount) seems to always
be null....
var container = new Container();
container.Register<IUserAccount, UserAccount>();
_useraccount = container.GetInstance<IUserAccount>();
Not sure if i am utilising the right event, im using the beginrequest event in my httpmodule....
I can't make sense of this approach. The Session Id is stored in a cookie in the user's browser. Session timeout rolls when the user makes a request. A module handles HTTP request and also fires when the user makes a request. If the user is already making
a request, the module is redundant.
Why not simply increase the Session timeout in the web.config?

Maybe explain the problem you are trying to solve at a high level.
