you cannot reliably detect when a user closes a window/tab that's open to your site. you CAN intercept (with JS) when they click a logout button, however.Marc B– Marc B2013-11-26 17:18:49 +00:00Commented Nov 26, 2013 at 17:18

You can send an ajax request to to an action method which clears the session variables and in the call back, you can close the window.
<a id=logoutLink">Logout</a>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
$("#logoutLink").click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
$.post("@Url.Action("Logout","User")",function(res){
if(res.status==="done")
{
//close the window now.
window.close();
}
});
});
});
</script>
Now in your UserController, Add the Logout action method
public class UserController : Controller
{
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Logout()
{
Session.Abandon();
return Json(new { status="done"});
}
}
