Detect Session Expiry in Asp.Net MVC 5 Razor Application

I am developing Asp.Net MVC 5 Razor Application. I am maintaining separate table to maintain login information. When user logs in, I put 'true' in a field (IsLoggedIn) on success callback of login, in that table. When user logs out, I put 'false' in that field on success callback of logout module.

I am having one problem. If user does not press log out button, and its session is expired it gets log out. My success callback of logout is not called and 'IsLoggedIn' field in database still shows true for that user.

I am unable to find anything regarding how can I detect session expiry event and call my table updation function to put 'false' in 'IsLoggedIn' field to for user row?

Any Help?

Session timeouts can be handled in the Session_End event in your Global.asax, if your application using InProc SessionState mode(this is default in ASP.net if not specified)

void Session_End(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    // perform your logic
}

before doing this remember one thing The event will be called, but not necessarily right after the timeout.

also take this into consideration that According to MSDN,the HttpSessionState.Timeout property has a setter and can be changed from within your application's code as well as permanently in the web.config

Hope this helps
