session time

Question. How would I go about increasing the session time of a user, before
they are logged out for inactivity?

The reason I want to do this, is because players may have the site open,
while actually playing a game. But when they come back to report, they are
no longer logged in, but it appears that they are.

I assign the cookie when they login using the following code:

response.cookie s("username") = username
Response.Cookie s("username").E xpires=#May 1,2020#
But I don't remember writing anything that says how long the session is for.
I think default is 30 minutes?

can someone help?
Thanks

Tell me if my assertion is wrong here: The only way to prevent session hijacking is to NEVER store authentication information (such as name/password) in the session. Well, to never authenticate a user from information you got from the session. Each secure app on a site must challenge the user for name and password, each and every time the user accesses it (not just once and then store it in the session). If a secure app is multi-page,...

Does anyone know a good resource discussing the issues involved in session theft? I've read a couple, but none that really address the problem apart from acknowledging that it is a problem; you just don't seem to be able to do much about it.

Do we have any access to the Session object from a different Session? The idea is to save Session of a current user and then if he logs in again then return the Session back. It's not a problem to store, there is only one complicated object in this Session, but to get it on SessionStart to make a copy this is a problem. Maybe using Application or whatever? Or this data is divided and inaccessible anyway? Just D.

I have been using the default session state (InProc) and have found that I have been loosing my information after a period of time (normally 20 minutes). Is there anyway to find out how much more time I have on a session? If I do a refresh, does reset the session clock? Do you have have to go to another page to reset the session timeout or will a postback also do it? This is important as we have a few pages that a user

I have written a Custom Control Menu. Its fairly simple but it works well enough. In order to simplify things I decided to store the Menu1 custom control in Session. In the page load event below, it retreives the Menu from session and assigns its reference to Menu1. Within the Page_Load event I can see its internal values which have been retreived for each menu item and so it looks good. However, when the Render method is called of...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
