SignalR. Timer is not stopping on the server - signalr

Question

We are using SignalR for information exchange.
When the web browser is connected a timer starts, but it is not stopping when user close the browser.
Here is the code. starttimer function runs when browser connected.
When user disconnect the browser, timer still running on the server.

Besides the fact that its commented out? Did you put a break point on the timer to see if its getting hit at all? It might be that there is a delay in calling the onDisconnect, if the timeout property is set too large, it might not fire. it might be entering onReconnected if it does not know the client is closed.
