Err I kind of dont want to use JS for this ... but I think I almost have to...

On some of my pages I do the following:


  If Session("Login") Is Nothing Then
            'session timed out
            Response.Redirect("Login.aspx?ReturnURL=" & Server.UrlEncode(Request.Url.PathAndQuery))
        Else
            'good session
            strLoginUser = Session("Login")
            intClientID = Session("ClientID")
        End If

That is I redirect them back to the login page if their session expires. So what I want to do is immediately after that display a message (message box) that their session was expired and that was the reason they were redirected. Otherwise they get redirected without knowing...

I guess my other option is to pass something back to login.aspx and do a Request or something and set a message box.

Any ideas ?

YOu can set a session variable called "TimedOut" or something when this happens. Then, on your log-in page, you can check this variable and if it is TRUE you can show some red text or something at the top of the page that indicates why they are there.

...or just add an additional query string parameter to the page, like:

Response.Redirect("Login.aspx?Timeout=Y&ReturnURL=" & Server.UrlEncode(Request.Url.PathAndQuery))

And on that page all you have to do is:

If Request.Querystring("Timeout") = "Y" then
lblTimeout.Visible = True
End If

OS

thats a better idea -- it is best to keep your session variables to a minimum, to save memory. Good call.
