    Include this in you web.config file:

    using web.config

        <sessionState timeout="minutes"/>

    Using IIS

    Change the following time-outs in Internet Services Manager .Choose a value greater than the default of 20.

    1. Select Default Web Site > Properties > Home Directory > Application Settings > Configuration > Options.

    2. Enable the session state time-out and set the Session timeout for 60 minutes.

    enter image description here

    1. Select Application Pools > DefaultAppPool > Properties.

    2. From the Performance tab under Idle timeout, set Shutdown worker processes after being idle for a value higher than 20.

    enter image description here

    The default session time-out setting on IIS is 20 minutes but it can be increased to a maximum of 24 hours or 1440 minutes.
