Hi,

We have a requirement in our Web application which needs to track individual user's No. of hits to web site and how much time he is spending in our site.

For that i got below idea,

1. When User session starts note down time as sTime
2. When User session ends note down time as eTime
3. subtract eTime-sTime as time
4. Pass user_name and time to some function in Class library which will insert into database table.

First three points i have completed 4th point i am unable to call that particular function from Global.asax where

C#

Session_Start

and

C#

Session_End

functions are defined.

Please help me how i can call that function from

C#

Session_End()

in Global.asax.

Thanks,

What does 'unable to call' mean? Are you unable to build the code or are you getting errors/exceptions?
Or your function just does not get called?

Hi , Did you use the in-process session state mode ???
When the Session State Manager removes a session state object that resides in the cache, the HttpCache manager will call any registered callbacks. In effect, this behavior raises the Session_OnEnd event handler. (IN CASE of in-process session state mode!!!)

Maybe your project is really a WebSite?

Solution 1

User.Identity.Name Will return domain\username

therefore:

string domain = User.Identity.Name.Split('\\')[0];
string username = User.Identity.Name.Split('\\')[1];

Then call your function-

RecordTime(username, time);

Thanks for your answer. My issue is not able to call xyz() function of class library in Session_End().
Even if i call it. when Session_End event fired also it is not calling that xyz().

Alternative way of getting user name is - Environment.UserName.
