Hi..

I had published a website in the server( I am using VS 2005,ASP.NET2.0, With C#) . I tried testing the site by asking several users to login to the website and do unit testing. At one instance of time, the page breaks for a particular user. When the page breaks, the other users who are tesing in their machine are getting a session time-out and are forced to log out.

Why is such a session-time out issue happening, when one of the users page breaks. I have set the session variable to 20 minutes,which is the default. But what's confusing is , when one of the user's page breaks, the others get a session time-out? Why is such a session-time out occuring?

Please help.

Thanks.

This behavior only makes sense if your application is doing something about it. A single breaking page should not cause ANY session time-outs even for the breaking user.

Are you doing anything with files in the web application directory when a break occurs such as writing a log file?

ASP.NET monitors the application directory for file activity. If your application causing some file update behavior (change to a file or new file, like a log) then ASP.NET might be resetting the application as a result which would dump all user session data. (This is a problem a lot of people encounter with live virus scanning tools.)
