Session Expire Problem!!!!!!

[AjayKumar]

Hi all,
I am developing an application in Asp.net using C#.I have a small problem.I have set session timeout 360 minutes like this.
<sessionState
mode="InProc"
stateConnectionString="tcpip=127.0.0.1:42424"
sqlConnectionString="data source=127.0.0.1;Trusted_Connection=yes"
cookieless="false"
timeout="360"
/>
but my session is expiring within some minutes.Is there any solution for that?
Is urgent please help!

isn't timeout in seconds ?? if that's the case then this means you set the timeout to 6 minutes .

Pirate is right, a sqlconnection's timeout property is the time (in seconds) to wait for a connection to open. The default value is 15 seconds.

So you might want to set your timeout to 21600 (gosh, that is long. you sure about that?)

I don't think I agree. I believe the TimeOut value is minutes, so 360 is correct.

What version of IIS are you running? What OS? Windows 2003 by any chance? Because I ran into a similar problem a while back and found a very very obscure solution to it.

I also had doubts, but checked on msdn before I posted. You migth want to check.

[mendhak]

I couldn't find anything. Did you?

Before I get the axe on my neck, that's connection timeout, not session timeout. Am I missing something here?

[Pirate]

Apparently,we're talking about connection timeout , aren't we ?

[StrangerInBeijing]

Ok..my turn to eat humble pie (maybe you too Pirate)

The Session Timeout property of the sessionState elelement specifies the number of minutes a session can be idle before it is abandoned. The default is 20.

Sorry for the confusion AjayKumar!

12 post and back where we started. Why AjayKumar's session expires after minutes?

[Pirate]

I blame the link , it's deceptive .

Possibly because the IIS process is crashing and restarting again. He'll have to check event viewer for more details.
