Hi all,

 

One thing preventing my Silverlight application being of an acceptable level
of quality to release to our customers is Timeouts.

 

Basically, our customers are known to leave the application open in their
browser after using it, going off and doing something else, and then
returning later on to use it again. By this time, the authentication context
has disappeared, so as soon as they do something, it raises exceptions. The
only way to resolve it when this happens is to close the application in the
browser an start again.

 

Now, we could extend the session to be for 24 hours, as the web site is
recycled overnight anyway, however this reduces scalability as all those
resources are locked unnecessarily.

 

We could also use a timer to timeout the page before the session times out.
This can be complicated, because we have to make sure that every user event
resets the timer. Again, an undesirable.

 

So I guess my question is, to create a rock solid Silverlight application,
and given that Silverlight has a far superior eventing system to asp.net, is
it possible to hook something in to the Session Ended event that I can use
to redirect back to the login page or perform some action?
