You need to use client side. ASP.Net is not a connected scenario so you have to use javascript solutions to do this. The session_end even in global.asax is on the server side so you cannot do it there.

I would suggest you should not use logoff page. Logoff should be a link placed on every page immediately performing log off. It's easy to implement using the master page, for example.

Please look at javascript timer -
Here[^]
and Here[^].

Set it equal to your session timeout and on timeout navigate to a page that executes the logoff procedure. The user can then be redirected to wherever - the login page for example - telling them their session has expired.

Be careful of this technique if you expect the user to remain on a page for longer than the timeout.

You should back this up with code in Global.asax Session_End to perform any server side logoff processes to guard against browsers being directly closed by users.
