Basically i want to implement Session Management in my application having a Session Timeout of 1 hour.That is i want to show a pop-up 15 minues before Session timeout.
In my .NET application there is a home page and from that home page other child pages are getting opened by clicking on different links present on the Home page.Now The session Timeout warning pop-up can be displayed by implementing a timer by writing a cient side script code and using the javascipt method- setinterval on the home page.
But the problem arises when the user goes to any child page/window from the Home page and refreshes the session ids by hitting the server by fetching data from database from that child page. But the session timeout warning timer implmented on the home page displays the warning pop-up even if the Session has been refreshed by activities done on the child page. As i cannot implement timer on every cild pages because it is a vast application having numerous child and nested chld pages, so what i want to ask is that- can we fire an event on the home page to reset the session timeout timer whenever the server is hit ?
If we can do it , then my job is done
You cannot receive notice of a session clear or if session is getting close to posting back from the server. You can achieve what you want to do from the client, but you need to handle the ajax postback scenario. By listening to Sys.Application events, you can find out when the AJAX request has ended, and restart the timer (should be the endRequest event). Postbacks to the server should naturally refresh the timer as your session is sliding expiration, and a postback would reset the timer anyway.
This is how I did it in a past project.
