Session.RemoveAll();
Session.Abandon();

Above code should clear session.

And when we close the web application , the session must be cleared ?

Here is a way of doing it..

But there is no reliable way of detecting browser close event.

Session.RemoveAll()
Session.Abandon()

It worked fine for me, Try to debug and see whether your application is hitting the above code when you click logout.

Session.Abandon() always works fine and there is no issue with that. Can you share why you are saying that session.abandon is not working.

If you want to disable back button of browser, then see this post:-
