Vb.net web application Timeout issue

[dragonjim]

I have created a web application, and I want it to time out after a period of inactivity.
The web is hosted by godaddy, and has SQL server2005

In the Web.Config page I have added

<sessionState mode="InProc" stateConnectionString="tcpip=127.0.0.1:42424" sqlConnectionString="" cookieless="false" timeout="120"/>

<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms timeout="2"/>
</authentication>

I also have
<compilation debug="false" strict="false" explicit="true">

and in the form.load I have
Session.Timeout = 2

I've tried various combinations of these, but in no case does the application EVER TIMEOUT after any period of inactivity. I am new to this stuff and am surprised I've already gotten this far. What am I missing with getting it to timeout?

You may want to use a timer, however threading may also be of use. When your application timesout what do you want to happen?

I'd prefer to have the user redirected to the login page (login.aspx), but I don't understand why timeout doesn't have any effect.
I'm very new, and don't know what threading means.
Thanks for the reply

Are you running the project in release? Or debug? I see that you set the setting but if you launch it in VS as debug it will override it.

I compiled it and uploaded to the web, with the debug mode turned off. However I don't know if there are other settings that determine debug or release. What is VS ?

Sorry, Visual Studio. I am used to just referring to is as VS.

Could you post a sample web.config omitting secure lines with a sample login.aspx and inside page that requires logging in to see based off your code?

Again, emphasizing omitting secure lines. I dont need to see any sql connection strings, etc.

Looking at your code I cant find any reason why it wont work. I would suggest tearing it down and trying small samples like the below. Its in C# but the small segments of code should be fairly understandable from a VB .NET view. If you load the page the first time it will say "This should say Hello World" and if you refresh immediately it will say "Hello World". After a minute the session will timeout and reset the process. If your production server has the same result I would suspect there is more to your code than what you are showing, perhaps something holding the session or refreshing it.

web.config
