NEWBIE QUESTION ABOUT LOGOUT

[J]

Hi,
I am using sessions to store user's login and other information on my asp.net
pages, also I have a logout button on every page which will redirect user to
log-in page. So what kind tasks I need to perform when user click 'logout'
button?

Thanks in advance.

If you're using sesion variables, you can call Session.Abandon to end the
session or Session.Clear to clear all the variables. Session.Abandon will
fire the End_Session event handler in Global.asax.

If you are using Forms authentication, the logout button should call

Session.Abandon

That clears the existing session including the authentication.
