.NET Framework 2.0
 Abandon Method
This page is specific to
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005/.NET Framework 2.0

Other versions are also available for the following:
.NET Framework Class Library
HttpSessionState.Abandon Method

Cancels the current session.

Namespace: System.Web.SessionState
Assembly: System.Web (in system.web.dll)

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Sub Abandon
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim instance As HttpSessionState

instance.Abandon
C#
public void Abandon ()
C++
public:
void Abandon ()
J#
public void Abandon ()
JScript
public function Abandon ()

Once the Abandon method is called, the current session is no longer valid and a new session can be started. Abandon causes the End event to be raised. A new Start event will be raised on the next request.

Session identifiers for abandoned or expired sessions are recycled by default. That is, if a request is made that includes the session identifier for an expired or abandoned session, a new session is started using the same session identifier. You can disable this by setting regenerateExpiredSessionId attribute of the sessionState configuration element to true. For more information, see Session Identifiers.

The End event is supported only when the Mode property is set to InProc.

The following code example implements the Abandon method to end the current session.

Windows 98, Windows 2000 SP4, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP Media Center Edition, Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, Windows XP SP2, Windows XP Starter Edition
