This happens because of cache.
1. clear the sessions
2. clear the cache such that browser has no history (this will make back/forward button in browser grayed out disabled.)

Code for clearing cache can be put up in code behind as follows:
C#
// Code disables caching by browser. Hence the back browser button
// grayed out and could not causes the Page_Load event to fire 
Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
Response.Cache.SetExpires(DateTime.UtcNow.AddHours(-1));
Response.Cache.SetNoStore();

You can add somethin similar in form aspx if you want to place it there:
<meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache">
<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache">
<meta http-equiv="Expires" content="0"></meta></meta></meta>

User is asking how to disable the browser backbutton while logging out, claering session and cache is not the answer

You are correct...

See my link..
You can remove the session by using :

Session.Remove("SessionName");

Why do you need to disable the back button? If you have properly logged the user out then pressing the back button should always return them to the login page since they're session is no longer valid.

You should spend some time reading up on ASP.NET authentication
This is s common question that everybody asks the same.

I think you dont need to work with back button as browser does not allow you to handle back button.

Rather on every request you check for a session value.

Like :

if(Session["authkey"] == null)
  Response.Redirect("Login.aspx");


This will ensure that when any link is clicked after log out, it automatically redirects to Login page.

Other than that you can also put a forward javascript to ensure that you disable browser back.

try this...


when you log out just give a message box that you are logging out.... and then redirect to login page:

like this:

Response.Write("<script>alert('you are logging out..... .......');window.location = 'loginPage.aspx'</script>");

Always Wrap your code in "pre" tags :)

And don't bump old threads with answers that are exactly the same as other peoples. How is this different from S Mewara's answer?
MSIL
HttpContext.Current.Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
        HttpContext.Current.Response.Cache.SetNoServerCaching();
        HttpContext.Current.Response.Cache.SetNoStore();
        Session.Abandon();

and
Collapse
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
window.history.forward(1);
document.attachEvent("onkeydown", my_onkeydown_handler);
function my_onkeydown_handler()
{
switch (event.keyCode)
{
case 116 : // F5;
event.returnValue = false;
event.keyCode = 0;
window.status = "We have disabled F5";
break;
}
}
</script>
