Hi,

as far as I know, it's not possible to configure session to never
timeout. It's correct, if the sessions will never expire, sooner or
later your server will run out of memory resource. You can release them
programmaticall y. It's possible but not correct.

You can't do that, but is that really the behavior that you would want? Eventually your machine would run out of space unless you manually free all of your
session data, and even then you can't be guarenteed that your user would execute the code paths to free the session data

Hi, I have an asp.net webapp that uses some javascript in a hidden frame on the browser to poll the server every 30 seconds, using an http post. I also want my sessions to timeout in the normal fashion. The way I'm trying to get around this is by manually setting the timeout property for the session. I cache the starting session timeout value and inspect each url I get.

Folks. In a B2B Procurement system we've created, we got following Session-Issue: Configuration: We are using IIS 6.0 and added SQL-Based-Sessions in web.config with a timeout of 240 minutes and set them to cookieless mode. As well we added Session.Timeout=240 in asp.net-application and saved data into the session. Session-Timeout in IIS is also set to 240.

Hello, i'm struggling with a somehow badly understood session scenario. I provide acces to my pages based on form authentication using Session cookies. Som of my pages are supposed to be running continuously and refreshing once an hour. I there set timeout= 61 in <sessionState section and on my page it says <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3600">. I also set timeout=120 in the <forms section of web.config to make sure

I have a page where the user can upload a video file. As you can guess, this may take a while. Is there a way I can change the session timeout for just this one page? I would also want to change the forms authentication to be a large value for that page also. TIA - Jeff.

By default, IIS is configured to timeout a session in 20 minutes, which can be changed through the IIS config window. I use InProc sessionState mode. I can also set the session timeout in web.config. So here is my question: If IIS setting has a session timeout value of 20 minutes, but my web.config setting has a session timeout of 30 minutes, will the session time out in 20 minutes or in 30 minutes?
