Site maintenence notification to users.
-
Hi, I am developing a website in ASP.net using VB.net. There are times when we would need to upgrade the site or shut it down for maintenence. Are there any in-built features in ASP.net, using which I can notify them about the maintenence. Say for example - about 10 minutes before the maintenence. Please advice. Thanks

PankajNot that I know, but you can always add a small redirection to some page with notice in global.asax file (in On Session Start handler), then destroy the session on that page. This way, each time the user tries to navigate on your site, he/she will get only the page with notice. Philip Patrick Web-site: www.stpworks.com "Two beer or not two beer?" Shakesbeer

Thanks for the response. Does this work for new visitor or also for existing users of site?
PankajWell, I haven't checked with ASP.NET, but in pure ASP it worked, since IIS kills all Sessions when you change global.asa. You may try to use ASP (with global.asa, instead of global.asax) if it won't work Philip Patrick Web-site: www.stpworks.com "Two beer or not two beer?" Shakesbeer
