Sessions lost
-
When a user logs in to my web app, I save their login id as Public Shared so that I can reference it later. Sometimes when it is referenced later, it will grab the login id from someone else's session who is also running the app. I tried saving the login id as Session("loginid"), it works ok for a while, then it loses it and goes to null. No messages are coming up saying that the session has been lost, any ideas on what could be wrong or how to fix this would help out a lot. Thank You!

There is a setting in the web.config to make the session longer if you need to. The default is 20 minutes, so if the user does not interact with the web application for 20 minutes their session will end so that the server can free up resources to deal with users that are actually using the system. At this point the timed-out user will need to log in again. Does this help?
