Hi
There's no login page in the software. New session is created for every new
user from "HttpContext.Current.Session.SessionID". This SessionID is used
for loading and saving user dependent session data (for
ex."HttpContext.Current.Session["UserDependentVariable_1"]").
I can see that the session is still running because the SessionID is still
the same and all user dependent data is still in session. When I change to
another page in the software after about 20 minutes, the SessionID has been
changed. Session data is also empty - of course.
I have now changed the SessionState's mode to "StateServer". I have read
from the Web that it's not as buggy as "InProc". Still no effect in my
software.
My problem is that there is a need that the session lasts hours - not 20
minutes. I have changed SessionState's timeout to "120" in Web.config and
Machine.config. I also found setting from IIS: Web page Properties >>
Configuration... >> Options: Enable session state, Session timeout. I
changed also this to 120. Still the session is lost after about 20 minutes.
I have tried to find answer to this from the Web. I haven't found any answer
yet but I have found many other programmers who have faced the same problem:
Sessions just don't last long. Is there any way to get over this?

How are you determining that the session is still running? Is it just that
you dont go back to the login page or something like that?

Looks like I can not change Web page's timeout setting. In practise it's
all the time 20 minutes - no matter what I do.
I have this kind of setting in web.config:
<sessionState
mode="InProc"
cookieless="true"
timeout="1"
/>
With this settings program goes to Global.asax's Session_End() function
after 1 minute but the session is still running after this. It's only
after 20 minutes when the session really stops.
I have tried to change the timeout setting in Machine.config also >> No
difference.
I have even booted my computer after I have made change to the setting -
just in case if something is still running in memory. >> No help.
That 20 minutes settings has to be somewhere hidden, but where? Couldn't
find it from IIS either.
I have Windows XP Pro and Visual Studio .NET 2003.
Please help me.
Regards
Mikko
