Implementing automatic logout in silverlight and wcf due to user inactivity

Question

I have a WCF web-service and a Silverlight app displaying data from that service. In my service I'd like to implement automatic logout of the user, if no service methods were invoked during a period of time (for example 20 minutes).

I'm thinking about smth like that:

Dictionary<User,TimeSpan> Inactivity

When a service method is invoked i reset the TimeSpan. But what will happen, if 20 minutes pass, and I call the Logout method (which clears all User caches), and suddenly the User returns from lunch)) and presses a button in his Silverlight app? Obviously he'll get an error. Is there any way to avoid this, or all my concept is wrong? Maybe there's a better way to logout the user automatically?

Answer 1

20 mins passes, Logout method runs, user's redirected to a login page, user comes from lunch, sees a login page with a message that his session has expired, enters username/password, logs in.

Answer 2

Can your elaborate more on how it can be implemented. I mean the logout procedure redirecting to login page after certain period of inactivity. I am trying to do wht 'rubin-attack' has asked.

Thanks.
