How do you detect when your session is going to timeout and display a
message saying 'unless you do something you will be logged out' much the way
bank web pages do?

Can you do it for the site or do you need to put code on every page doing
it?

TIA

Nope...you could toss a timer on the page and do it yourself, but you
can't poll the session timer, without restarting it...

You could put a javascript timer on the page to detect idleness.

Or if you're using SQL server as your state server, you could poll a web
service using client javascript to get a more accurate time. Just make sure
the web service is running under a different app than your ASP.NET
application, otherwise the session timer will get reset on each request.

Thanks Lucas. That's what I ended up having to do.
