Question

I have an asp.net app with master pages. I need to have a session timeout after 10 minutes, for which I have a javascript code block. Is there any other more efficient way to do a session timeout rather than have a javascript code block on every page? (I am not using membership provider).

Answer 1

You can change the timeout of your session in your web.config

<sessionState 
   mode="InProc" 
   stateConnectionString="tcpip=127.0.0.1:42424" 
   stateNetworkTimeout="10" 
   sqlConnectionString="data source=127.0.0.1;Integrated Security=SSPI" 
   sqlCommandTimeout="30" 
   customProvider="" 
   cookieless="UseCookies" 
   cookieName="ASP.NET_SessionId" 
   timeout="10" 
   allowCustomSqlDatabase="false" 
   regenerateExpiredSessionId="true" 
   partitionResolverType="" 
   useHostingIdentity="true">
   <providers>
      <clear />
   </providers>
</sessionState>
