I have problems with Session Time-out

[satyendrastomar]

Hi, I have problems with Session Time-out. I need my Session to stay for more than an hour. For that, I have done the below things. a) I have specified the timeout as 60 in the web.config of my application as below: b) In IIS, web-site's configuration settings also I have changed to 60 minutes. c) Though its not required, I have also changed the timeout to 60 in machine.config as below: Even though some times the session time-out is after 25 – 30 minutes and sometimes the session time-out was after more than 54 minutes. Can any one give me any explanation for this unpredictable behaviour? How to re-solve this type of situation. I dont want to change the sessionstate's mode other than In-proc. Please help me in this regard.

Aren't you setting Session.Timeout property in your code somewhere? I think, when you call such an assignement, it results in lost of current session. And you can lose your session when IIS or web application process is restarted. Pilo

You can set session time out in web.config file where you are defining connection string.
