Basically I need to create a client side “Your session is about to expire….click here to Stay Logged in…” (aynchronous without page redirect)
If I create a controller with a stub EmptyResult action “ResetTimeout” then will any calls into this empty action method stub automatically reset the session timer? Is there a “standard” way of doing this?
Yes, any request from the browser (that carries the cookie to identify the session) will reset the session timer.
(The request doesn’t even have to go so far as to being handled by a controller, as long as it has gone far enough that the session is identified.)
A request is normally always returning a response, so you can just as well return something like a plain string from the action method, that you can look for when the browser handles the response.
