Hello all,

I am facing a problem with session timeout. I have increased the default Session timeout value to 60, but session is expiring after 20 minutes. How can I increase time?

My web.config file -
<sessionState timeout="60" mode="InProc" cookieless="false" />

Thank you in advance.

What evidence suggests that it is the session that is timing out? Is it possible it is something else that's timing out (cookies, authentication)?

Hi,
In the time of log in, I am storing the member id in a session variable. In other pages I am checking the session variable. If the session variable is not null then the page will open otherwise it will redirect to the login page.

When I am running the web site, system redirecting me to the login page very often. I cannot undarstand why it is happenning.

On what environment are you running this site? Your development computer?

Could you possibly add some code to the session end handler in the app to write a record to a database do you can verify that the session is ending and that it's not something else.

I have had various problems with ASP.NET session over the years. I remember early on that the ASP.NET process would automatically recycle itself every so often. This resulted in strange session behavior similar to what you are experiencing. I haven't had this problem more recently as I haven't relied on session as much, or I have to switched to using SQL server session state which seems to be much less susceptible (if not impervious to) this weird behavior because the data is in a much more persistent medium. Even if the web app recycles itself, the client session cookie is still there and the data is still present within SQL.

Hi,
I am facing the problem on my development cumputer and online as well. I have verified that this is happenning due to session ending.

I am facing the same problem in one more application. Could you please give me any suggestion to overcome this problem?
