end of session

[Shimon Sim]

When should Session_End event fire? It seems to me that it never fires on my
machine. I tried to
1. Log out from Form authentication
2. Close a IE window
3. Wait for some time - in this case system throws me back to login page but
I don't get any events

I do get Session_Start event if I logout.
Thank you
Shimon.

Session_Start should fire when a user first browse to your website. Doesn't matter if he/she is authenticated
Session_End should fire when the user has inactive for a certain period (you can configure that in the web.config file) e.g. linked to another domain or manually typed another url on the address bar
