It's impossible - The browser is a client piece of software.

Your server is running your C# code. How is the server ever going to know that the client has done something? It can't subscribe to 'client events', which is exactly what closing the browser is.

Instead, it's up to your design to make the browser inform the server that an event has taken place. *You need to run some code on the client to inform the server*

Your options here are limited. Javascript is the obvious choice, because it's cross browser compatible and you've a fairly high % chance that it's going to be enabled.

A solution I've seen used for this is to have javascript subscribe to the 'onclosing' event on the client, and call a web service in the event handler to tell the server 'I've closed the browser window'

Didn't you understand "It's impossible"?

You *have* to do this on the client. There is no way to do this server-side in C#
