mvc Timeout Session_End

I have an MVC application and I would like to redirect the user to the Home Screen just before the Session_End event fires?

If I allow it to go to session end then it just terminates the session and the page is no longer active.

Any ideas on this?

If the idea behind your question is just not let the session terminate automatically, you can do the following

In your _Layout.cshtml, include a keep-alive pinging script. I am showing in Razor syntax here - 

@{
   // Get the session timeout from configuration
   var sessionTimeout = (System.Web.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.GetSection("system.web/sessionState") as System.Web.Configuration.SessionStateSection).Timeout;
   // Ping interval can just a minute less that the session expiry
   var pingInterval = sessionTimeout.AddMinutes(-1.0);
}
<script type="text/javascript">
   window.setInterval(function () {
     $.ajax('@Url.Content("~")', { async: true, cache: false });
   }, @((int)pingInterval.TotalMilliseconds));
</script>

This script will ping your home page just one minute before the session expiry and thus kkeeping the session live.

Use setInterval() and window.location.replace(). The interval is in millisecond. So replace 3000 with with the interval you need. 

setInterval(function(){
    window.location.replace(http://www.google.com)
}, 3000);

setTimeout will also be a viable option in this scenario (@Dismissle)
