Avoid using seasion_end because the event does not fire if you deploy to muti web server environment. The action filter alone with combination of view logic to display login dialog should be enough. — Roman

You can do it with session_end in combination with an action filter and jquery.

Set HttpContext.Current.Items['sessionEnded'] to true in Session_End()
Create an action filter which checks for that Item and set ViewBag.SessionEnded to true
In your layout trigger the javascript if ViewBag.SessionEnded is true.

couldn't get HttpContext.Current in session_End(). it shows Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
