Hey I have the following line in my web.config

<sessionState mode="InProc" timeout="45"/>

Which I thought would keep sessions intact for 45 mins

But I have seen the case where if a user is inactive for lets say 15 mins the sessions times out.

How can I stop this ?

Edit : Just noticed I have the following line in the master page

meta http-equiv=”Refresh” content=”1800;URL=http://www.virtualacademy.ie/login.aspx”>

Maybe this is causing the issue, what is the above line doing i.e the number 1800
