Session timeout

[hpl]

I have an application, which requires a user login.
The customer I have does not want the session to time out.
I have set the webconfig timeout to 160000 to prevent this but I still get an error when the time passes 20 minutes because I use session objects.
Can I automatically refresh the browser every 10 minutes if it is not used, so the user can always use the application again after e.g. 3 hours?

Hey,

Can you show the web.config section that you have used?

I have just used this:

<authentication mode="Forms" >
<forms loginUrl="default.aspx" protection="All" defaultUrl="index.aspx" timeout="160000"></forms>
</authentication>

Hey,

Have a look here:

It is actually the sessionState section of the web.config file that you need to change.

Hope that helps!

well this is fine but you need make some changes in the session settings too

your session is "InProc" i guess ...try making session Timeout = 30;

if u r page does not expire after 20 mins...increase the timeout of session

which means now u can control timeout

else

we'll figure out somethin else...

If you are using IIS 6 I think there is a session timeout in there also.

That's a bad idea. You should inform your client the necessary of session time and why it is being used.

If you really need , you could go for this one
