Web.config and timeout
I have set a timeout in my web.config to 20 min. I wish that the user is redirected to the login-page (login1.aspx) when timing out. But this doesn't happen applying the web.config file shown below. What is wrong?
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
<pages smartNavigation="true" />
<!-- DYNAMIC DEBUG COMPILATION
Set compilation debug="true" to insert debugging symbols (.pdb information)
into the compiled page. Because this creates a larger file that executes
more slowly, you should set this value to true only when debugging and to
false at all other times. For more information, refer to the documentation about
debugging ASP.NET files.
-->
<compilation defaultLanguage="vb" debug="true" />
<!-- CUSTOM ERROR MESSAGES
Set customErrors mode="On" or "RemoteOnly" to enable custom error messages, "Off" to disable.
Add <error> tags for each of the errors you want to handle.

SOLVED
I forgot to import system.web.security on all pages :rolleyes:
-
??
How does importing Web.Security handle this?
-
Yeah. How does that work for you ?
-
in the .vb file you include this:
Imports System.Web.Security
And I have used these tags in the web-config file:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
<!--<pages smartNavigation="true" />-->

mmm... Importing System.Security just tells the compiler to make that class reference available to your page.
It (the reference) isn't necessary to redirect a user to the login page when they timeout, because it doesn't accomplish anything.
The web.config for that application accomplishes redirection if the session times out.
