You could always implement the events in global.asax.
Implement Application_Start() to setup a System.Collections.Dictionary (or at your preference) and store that in the Application[] collection, when a user logsin, add the username. Remove from the collection in Session_End(). Remember to use the ‘lock’ keyword while working with the collection 🙂
Have fun!
Example:
[page.aspx]
public partial class page : System.Web.UI.Page {
protected bool Login(string userName) {
System.Collections.Generic.List<string> d = Application["UsersLoggedIn"]
as System.Collections.Generic.List<string>;
if (d != null) {
lock (d) {
if (d.Contains(userName)) {
// User is already logged in!!!
return false;
}
d.Add(userName);
}
}
Session["UserLoggedIn"] = userName;
return true;
}
protected void Logout() {
Session.Abandon();
}
}
[global.asax]
<%@ Application Language="C#" %>
<script RunAt="server">
void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e) {
Application["UsersLoggedIn"] = new System.Collections.Generic.List<string>();
}
void Session_End(object sender, EventArgs e) {
// NOTE: you might want to call this from the .Logout() method - aswell -, to speed things up
string userLoggedIn = Session["UserLoggedIn"] == null ? string.Empty ? (string)Session["UserLoggedIn"];
if (userLoggedIn.Length > 0) {
System.Collections.Generic.List<string> d = Application["UsersLoggedIn"]
as System.Collections.Generic.List<string>;
if (d != null) {
lock (d) {
d.Remove(userLoggedIn);
}
}
}
}
</script>
