Get users current page when session times out

Lots and lots of examples out there as to how to set and redirect when the session times out. But nothing that I could find for this situation.

A typical situation where a timeout control monitors the session timeout and displays a window warning the user of that when there is 1 minute left. When the session times out, the user is redirected to a page (sessionexpired.aspx) that clears the session and displays information informing the user that they are required to login again.

I would like to log the page the user was on when the session actually timed out and do that in the code behind of the sessionexpired.aspx page.

Any help would be very welcome!

You can use one of these code examples to get the current page the user is on:

 // Returns something like "http://www.example.com/myUrl/MyPage.aspx"
 string page = HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.AbsoluteUri;

 // Returns something like "/myUrl/MyPage.aspx"
 string page = HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.AbsolutePath;

 // Returns something like "MyPage.aspx"
 string page = HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.AbsolutePath.Substring(url.LastIndexOf('/') + 1);

So wherever your code is to log you out when your session expires (probably in your master page), just add one of these lines.

Once you have it, you can add it as a query string parameter to your login page or you can save it in a database.

Try looking at the Referer from the current Request object. It's usually found using this:

Request.UrlReferrer

I hope this helps.
