Session not ending on click of “OnLoggingOut” action

Question

I am trying to log out of a session on a website with the following code. However, seemingly nothing happens when I click on the logout button.

here is my code:

<asp:LoginStatus ID="LoginStatus1" OnLoggingOut="Logout_Click"  runat="server" /> 

and c#:

public void Logout_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

        Session.Abandon();
        FormsAuthentication.SignOut();
        FormsAuthentication.RedirectToLoginPage();


    }

This code is not ending the session, and it isn't even redirecting to the login page.

Web.config:

<authentication mode="Forms" >
      <forms loginUrl="url"   timeout="20" domain="domain">
      </forms>
    </authentication>

Thanks guys!

Answer 1

According to MSDN , your OnLoggingOut method should have 1 parameter of type LoginCancelEventArgs .

The code you have in the Logout_Click method should be fine, but it's not getting called because your method signature is incorrect.

Answer 2

(object sender, LoginCancelEventArgs e)

is the actual signature for the OnLoggingOut method. and you do not need the call to session.abandon.

Answer 3

Write a below code on your button click event

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    HttpContext.Current.Session.Abandon();
    HttpContext.Current.Response.Cookies.Clear();
    FormsAuthentication.SignOut();

    Response.Redirect("~/LoginPage.aspx");

}
