How to increase Session Timeout?

We can set our custom session timeout in our applications by following Methods

1.    In Web.config file we can set session timeout like as shown below 

<configuration> <system.web>  <sessionState mode="InProc" timeout="120">  </sessionState>  </system.web> </configuration>

Note that if you are using Forms authentication, the Forms timeout setting will log the user out after the set timeout period so you will also have to adjust this attribute:

<authentication mode="Forms" >  <forms  timeout="120">  </authentication>

2.    In  Global.asax file we can set session timeout in Session_Start event like this

void Session_Start(object sender, EventArgs e) { // Code that runs when a new session is started Session.Timeout = 120; }

3.    In IIS setting you can also set default session timeout.

1.    Open IIS start-->run type-->inetmgr and press enter.

2.    Click on "Web Site" and click “Session State” in right Pane.
