Answer 2

Hi Yann

 

Thanks for the reply. I assume but the solution provided in the link would only work in browser apps. I have doubt whether it will work out of browser. What are your thoughts for the same ?

Answer 3

I guess that's why it's called it "How To: Create a Logout Button For LightSwitch Web Apps", lol.

And the first line says "Problem: You are using Forms authentication and you'd like to add a "Logout" Button to your LightSwitch browser apps.".

But yes, I agree, I don't think it works for OOB apps. I don't remember if I tried it.

That's also why I make the "Log Off" command in my Luminous LightSwitch Commands extension invisible for OOB apps.

Hi Yann. When I use the Log Off button I get this error. Any ideas?

Server Error in '/' Application.

Answer 5

Are you following the article linked above? Or using my Luminous LightSwitch Commands? The article's not mine, but it is the basis for my LogOff command.

A couple of people who aren't using IE have mentioned this problem in the Q&A page for the extension, but I haven't had time to look at it yet.

What broswer are you using?

Answer 7

Hmm, you're the first one (that I know of) that's had this problem with IE.

I WILL get it sorted out, I just have to get the book finished first, before I'll get much of a chance to investigate why it's happening.

Answer 9

What do you mean by "capture a logoff event"?

If you're asking about disabliing the ribbon button, or hiding it altogether, then yes, I described a method in another post.

Answer 10

Sorry Yann I didnt quite explain properly.

When a user logs off I want to set a field value to logged off .

Basically what I am looking to achieve is to be able to identify all users logged on/logged off  to the application.
