Handling Session time out in mvc3

Question

In my mvc3 (razor) application i want to handling session timeout by displaying a popup for re entering User id and password

How can i write it as common in Session_End() in Global.asax

Is it possible to display a jquery model popup from here

Is there any way to implement this without losing data please share..

displaying `jquery modal popup` from a `Session_End` .... is something I dont think is possible. — Yasser Shaikh, Aug 21 '12 at 12:16
Avoid using seasion_end because the event does not fire if you deploy to muti web server environment. The action filter alone with combination of view logic to display login dialog should be enough. — Roman, Aug 22 '12 at 00:59

You can do it with session_end in combination with an action filter and jquery.

Set HttpContext.Current.Items['sessionEnded'] to true in Session_End()
Create an action filter which checks for that Item and set ViewBag.SessionEnded to true
In your layout trigger the javascript if ViewBag.SessionEnded is true.

First hit in google for `c# create actionfilter`: http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials/older-versions/controllers-and-routing/understanding-action-filters-cs – jgauffin Aug 21 '12 at 13:07
couldn't get HttpContext.Current in session_End(). it shows Object reference not set to an instance of an object. – Nithesh Narayanan Aug 21 '12 at 13:34
