There is no way for the server to call a client directly without some action being initiated by the client. Think about it. Many sites collect information about the clients who connect to their site. Would you want anyone of them to connect to your web browser at any time?

You will need a mechanism that has the client send a ping to the server at certain intervals to indicate they are still connected.

You could use a session variable that's updated in the Page Load method.

but the application which saves the game status will stay true when he exits the browser so it will say he is still in the game while he isn't!
if i could just get the session value when session_end happens everything would be great

I am trying to use this code

C#

if (Application["player1"] == Session["mynick"])
{
    Application["status1"] = false;
    Application["player1"] = "";
}

in the session_end but when it happens sassion["mynick"] has no value :<</xml>
