you can write ur code on session End event and reduce session destroy time. but this one also not a permanent solution.

See HTMLDocumentEvents::onstop Event . It is not in a managed library. The documentation says Fires when the user clicks the Stop button or leaves the Web page.. However the .Net Framework HtmlDocument . Stop Event says nothing about leaving the web page. It is not clear to me if you are doing this in a WebBrowser control or not and if you need this to work for all browsers. I am even not sure if you are doing this in the server or the client.

It must be possible since other web sites do it. I would study all the events. If I could not find an event that works I would look to see if there is a way to receive all events; something like what Spy++ does for Windows messages.

look... detecting browser close button and then auto logout is always not possible because of session. by decreasing the session check you can detect it but it also can't be executed in the blink of eye.
