how to make my software logout if user is not active

Kanhialal kk

Hi..
I am creating a desktop application in visual studio 2005 using c# with sql server 2000.
In my application every user logs in with his own id and password.

my question is that. I want to logout user automatically if user is not active since 5 minuts.

How it is possible.

Thanks

In windows application, this should be easy.

I suggest using a base class from which all forms inherit. this base class has a static timestamp (static so its shared amongst all instances of the base class, thus all open forms) and a static timer which checks occasionally if that timestamp is older than 5 minutes. if it is, it logs out the user or closes the application. You can then update this timestamp on mouse move event or key event.
