Hello guys.. Im using Session.Abandon() to logout from a page and then redirecting to Logout.aspx. But when I use the Back button of IE 8, it takes me back to that page which I think it should not. What is wrong with this?? thnx
Here is what I have done

Session.Abandon();
Response.Redirect("Logout.aspx");

Session will be recreated when requesting a page. In your case you may need to set the session login flag to null. Otherwise the cookie will help the session create successfully. Otherwise use a cookie-less session

I don't think it's really working...

Put this in the PageLoad method of the Logout page (I *think* it might do the trick):

C#

Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);   
Response.Cache.SetExpires(DateTime.Now.AddSeconds(-1));   
Response.Cache.SetNoStore();   
Response.AppendHeader("Pragma", "no-cache");

Hi

Go through this CP Article, Exploring Session in ASP.Net[^]. I hope this will clear all your queries.

P.S: After reading of this article, Analyze your self, what have to do in this type of situations. Still if you didn't get solution for your 'Back button of IE8' post a comment here.

Thanks

Hi there...I used Page Level disabling session in Logout.aspx but it did not work.

Solution 4

Use Session["Name"] = null
and Session.clear()

The best solution to end the session and invalidate the user Login is to use the ASP.NET LoginStatus Control. It works fine and here are the steps for help: http://dotnet-programming-solutions.blogspot.com/2013/01/aspnet-sessionabandon-doesnt-work-not.html[^]

Browsers back button does not reload the page until you force it. It fetches the code from cache and hence you are able to view the last page again.

This tip should help you out: Browser back button issue after logout[^]
