Page Timeout

[Scott]

I have a page that uses a dataset and times-out causing error messages when
the user tries to use the dataset after a timeout. How can I either remove
the timeout or wrap my code in error code to take them back to the main page
when this happens?

You can increase the timeout by overriding the Session
Timeout attribute in Web.Config file.By default the
session timeout is 20mts.

Thanks... If I change this value to "0" does that mean it will never time
out?

Hi Scott,

Right now we are assuming that your problem is due to sessions timing out.
I agree this is probably the case.

Zero is not a valid value for the session time out. If you set the value
to zero you will get an error when you try to browse any page in the
project.

You may want to also consider the impact on memory usage if you store lots
of data in session state.

Also, ASP.NET applications automatically restart periodically. Each time it
restarts, all sessions are lost unless you store the sessions
out-of-process. See "Session State" at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...us/cpguide/htm
l/cpconsessionstate.asp.

Please reply if you have more questions on this.

Thank you, Mike
