Hello,

I am opening a ASP.NET page, starting a thread, and would like that thraed to continue running UNTIL the page is closed. How would I stop this thread upon closing the page?

I think that the best solution to this is to make an OnClose script that will call an aspx page wich would make all the necessary work.

Code:

<body onclose=&quot;window.open('close.aspx')&quot;>
And in close.aspx do your job and then use a javascript
<script>
self.close()
</script>

This should be more efficient then tracking the Session End event or timeout.

So how would I stop the thread in close.aspx?

I can't help but think that starting a thread in the page-load is a bad idea. What happens if the user's browser dies?

There will be no chance to tell the thread to kill itself (normally done with an AutoResetEvent or a integer value protected by an Interlocked instance).

VS.NET does not like the onclose=

Why is that?

'onclose=' == 'onunload'
