As it turns out, sliding sessions – sessions that are kept active by user\u2019s activity, as opposed to sessions with a static expiration time – are quite a popular topic as of late.<\/p>\n
I already covered the topic in details 3 years ago<\/a> (time flies!!!) but of course at the time I wrote all of the sample code with WIF 3.5. I am inclined to say that not much changed in this department, you can pretty much use the same technique as long as you fix namespaces and class names here and there, but from the number of people that asked about this I am clearly underestimating the difficulty of the task.<\/p>\n So, how about the following: if you are interested in learning how to do this head to that old post and read through the theory<\/a>, so that I won\u2019t have to re-write it here; I\u2019ll be waiting here, and once you\u2019re back I\u2019ll show you the code that will work with .NET 4.5. Deal?<\/p>\n [\u2026]<\/p>\n Welcome back!<\/p>\n Let\u2019s add sliding sessions to one typical WIF-based app, MVC or WebForm will both work. Here there are the steps:<\/p>\n\n
