Logoff and terminate an ASP.NET session?

[TR]

What is the best practice for implementing a Logoff feature so that the
user's session is terminated and session state memory is released?
Thanks

Session.Abandon();
and it can help to avoid confusion by closing the browser window as well.

if its signing out of forms, create a link to a page that have this
code....

Sub Page_Load
FormsAuthentication.SignOut()
End Sub

...and youre ready to go.

Thanks. Seems almost too easy Garbage collector handles cleanup of
session variables?

Thanks. We're not using Forms Auth at the moment, but would .SignOut() be
called instead of Session.Abandon()? The docs read "[The SignOut method]
removes either durable or session cookies." Is that synonymous with
terminating the session?

No, use Session.Abandon also.
