aspx thread: Session Variable & Time Out ?


Message #1 by "Geeta Kalantre" <dotnetgeeta@h...> on Thu, 04 Oct 2001 18:38:07 +0000
  How I can make the session variables availiable through entire session? 

Because If I use time out then I have to specify the time for which amount 

of time session variable will be availiable. But I don't want that way?



  So let me know how I can make session variable availiable for entire 

session?



Thanks

I believe that a session will timeout after inactivity, so a session should

not timeout while you are "using" it, but after you "leave" the site for the

timeout period.



Am I missing something?

Geeta,



To achieve what you want you need to use cookies. Sessions will always

timeout within some period of inactivity and if you set a high value for a

session you'll be locking the servers resources unnecessarily. If security

is an issue you can instead store an id into the cookie and store the users

data in a database and retrieve the data using the users id stored in the

cookie. Hope this helps.

It is not possible to set time limit to null because it takes positive 

integer value.
