asp.net session timeout

Question

how do i set the session timeout in asp.net ?

thru the code and thru the web.config (i heard that you can do it here).

thanks

Answer 1

To do it via web.config:

Modify the timeout attribute of the sessionState element.

<sessionState timeout="30" />

To do it in code:

Session.Timeout = 20;

Easy peasy. :)

Answer 2

Yes In your web.config

<sessionState
mode="InProc"
stateConnectionString="tcpip=127.0.0.1:42424"
sqlConnectionString="data source=127.0.0.1;Trusted_Connection=yes"
cookieless="false"
timeout="30"
/>

Maintains session state for 30 mins
