about session variables losing its values before time out

[vijay7896]

I've got some ASP pages where the session variable values get blown away BEFORE
the session times out. I can't understand it. For example: if a user
logs into my ASP app using his password which is stored in a session variable,
it will be fully accessible for a few minutes and then all of a sudden.....Wham
session variable with password value is gone. And the session timeout is
far from expired. The session variable is not being touched in any way
after it gets initialized with a value.

Anyone no what could be causing this?

Thanks.

Have you defined the Session variable inside global.asax

I would re-examine your code and look for anything that updates that session variable (it is NOT a good idea to store the user's password in session).

Hi vijay7896

u can solve ur problem to set session timeout property in web.config file by foolowing steps.

->GO to Web.config File
->Find this tag <configuration>
->Under <configuration> u can see <system.web> tag
->in this tag u have just copy & past following line
