Since you're cross-posting this into the asp group I assume you're talking
about a web application. There is no such thing as logoff in a web
application, HTTP is a stateless protocol. You cannot logoff user at a
certain time since you, as a server, cannot do anything but react to users
requests. If the user does not send a request there's nothing you can do.
As for using the Cache object for this - why would you want to logoff users
when you run low on memory (because that's when the Cache will start
releasing objects no matter what their expiration time)? It makes absolutely
no sense to use Cache here (or think that you can control the client from a
web application).
