Polling at regular intervals is the only way to figure out if the user is online. Or if the user has explicitly logged out, then a notification can be sent to the client program.

hi,

It would seem that this issue is not specific to code review. Type inference would present the same difficulties for writing the code in the first place, and for debugging. The solution to these problem is using good programming practices. Be disciplined, refactor your code to make sense, take small steps when you change your code, and test it after each change.

Regards,

Step1: Take a Image control near the dropdown List
<asp:Image ID="Image1" runat="server" Height="20" Width="20" ImageAlign="Bottom" />

<asp:DropDownList AutoPostBack="true" ID="DropDownList1" runat="server" 
    onselectedindexchanged="DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged">
    <asp:ListItem>Available</asp:ListItem>
    <asp:ListItem>Busy</asp:ListItem>
    <asp:ListItem>Invisible</asp:ListItem>
  </asp:DropDownList>
  


Step 2: Implement the DropDown's SelectedIndexChange Event
  string status=DropDownList1.SelectedValue.ToString();
 
  if (status == "Available")
  {
    Image1.ImageUrl = "status/available.jpg";
  }
  else if (status == "Busy")
  {
    Image1.ImageUrl = "status/buzy.jpg";
  }










hope this will help you!
