need to collect event information at end of application

[Guest]

I have setup event collections throughout a web application that uses the session state to save ex.message information into an array of strings. I want to copy the session state information into an array and then write it to a file when the application ends. I inserted a breakpoint in the global.aspx.vb file
Sub Application_End but it does not hit the breakpoint when I close the web window (currently just closing the application by clicking on the x block in the right corner of the window). Looks like it is not getting to this subroutine, just wondering if anyone had any suggestions?
Thanks

Paul,
Closing the browser will not cause the Application_End event to
fire. The web server knows nothing about the browser being closed because
the only time the browser and web server are in communication are when the
browser is requesting something from the web server. The Application_End
event is fired after the last session expires. Usually, a session is killed
after 20 minutes of inactivity. You could set the session timeout to a much
lower number to assist in debugging and force the session to end earlier
than in a production environment, hopefully also causing the application_end
event to be fired.

Hope this helps,
