Session time out Logout Url ASP.Net

I have an issue with my ASP.Net web app built in 4.0 framework. I have the below set in the web config -

<authentication mode="Forms">
  <forms loginUrl="~/SignIn.aspx" protection="All" timeout="2880" path="/" />
</authentication>

when a user clicks my url he sees the login page. Now the session timeout is set to the default session time out from IIS which is 20 minutes. Now when the session expires I would like to force the user to redirect to Logout.aspx

How can I achieve this? I would like to redirect the user to Logout.aspx page once the session times out.

The short answer is to check HttpContext.Current.Session.IsNewSession on each page request to see if the user's session timed out and has started a new session. In the event that it is a new session, redirect the user to the page of your choosing.

If you're using MVC or even just want to see a more thorough explanation of session timeouts in action, check out http://tyronedavisjr.com/2008/11/23/detecting-session-timeouts-using-a-aspnet-mvc-action-filter/ for an example.
