How Sessions Time Out....?

 Rate It (2)

  I wonder some times how statemanagement efficiently helps a developer to handle the user sessions. Session state management is one which should be handled with care, Other wise it can create various problems.   We have to identify how are these sessions expire..?

When does a session begins..?

    Ofcourse,  When the user make a request to login to a site, one user session begins.

Then when does it ends..?

   1)   When the user logs out, automatically the session is cleared and all the session memory variables are freed.

           (Here Session.Abandon() is called)

  2)   When the user is not responsing through the browser till the timeout period occurs, the session will be expired.

  3)   When user interacts to the same session through different browsers, some problems may occur. It is handled according to the different behaviours of browsers.

  4)   When the User closes the Browser, The Session timeout occurs.

 

    These are the different ways through which a session expires.

Hi, I see a website in which untill i don't request to Logout my session will maintain. I was close the browser and delete all cookies but when i open the website I saw that i am already logged in. Can you explain how it will happens ?

sorry, but i think your 4th pt is incorrect 4) When the User closes the Browser, The Session timeout occurs.

ya, you thought in a right way...When the user closes the browser, it actually expires, not timeouts.

then in what situation the Session.Abandon() should be used and Session.clear() and how they behave?

when the user is logging out, the developer should write the Session.Abandon() method for removing the particular Session. When you use Session.Clear(), it is clearing all the session variables, not deleting the session...
