I know of no way to ask a particular session how long it will be until it times out. In reality, every time you touch the session, it resets.

Yes, as Hal says. As soon as the request is made, if the session hasn't already timed out, it is reset, so therefore the "current time left" will always = the timeout.
Are you attempting to achieve something on the client side to warn them about the impending timeout? For that, use some javascript to count down the timeout value.

You both are currect. What is my problem is Whenever client is filling one large application he may be stilling filling the form when Session is going to expire. In this case there wouldn't be any requests. In that case I want to reset the Session even before Session timed out so that client can get enough time to fill the application and submit the form.
Please let me know for any suggestions / solutions.Thanks.

I had a long form and I split it into 3 forms using panels. I put 1/3 of the form in each panel. When the user clicked 'Continue' I hid the current panel and made visible the next one. I also added a 'Previous' button that did the same going backwards.

You can also use a tab control, if you like how that looks, to do the same thing.. and save when they tab to different "pages"

That could solve my problem. What I am thinking is when user sits idle for some time or he may be busy with the other websites for some time and he restarting to fill my web page Session may time out.In that case user may feel discomfort.Is there any way in asp.net we can reset the session without requesting the Server or without clicking the buttons or tabs? Something like this Session.reset or using javascript.Ofcourse it wouldn't work Is there any way i can achieve this.
Regards,
venu

If there were, that would essentially negate the whole point of session expiration. If the user is idol, the session expires.
You need to create a means of "simulating" activity. The simplest way I would go about this is to create a page frameset, put your form in a frame that is visible (100%) and a "refresher" page in the other frame that is invisible (0%). The refresher page will have a standard HTML meta refresh header tag that refreshes the page at some interval (5 minutes perhaps). This will cause the session to stay active without user action.
