I have the line:

<sessionState mode="SQLServer" sqlConnectionString="Data Source=localhost;User Id=sa;Password=test;" timeout="1" />

Which stores the session in a sql state server. However it does not timeout properly after one minute.

When I change the line to use InProc mode:

<sessionState mode="InProc" sqlConnectionString="Data Source=localhost;User Id=sa;Password=test;" timeout="1" />

It does timeout after one minute.

Any ideas why this is happening? How can I get it to timeout when using SqlServer?

    If you’re using SQL Server Express, it’s because there is no SQL Server Agent to execute the DeleteExpiredSessions procedure.

    Here is a possible workaround to the problem:

    In the stored procedure that updates the session, I have added SQL
    from the DeleteExpiredSessions procedure to the update session stored
    procedure (I can’t remember the name) so it checks for old sessions,
    deletes the old session, and then updates the current sessions. The
    stored procedure that updates the session runs on every click anyway,
    so I added two more lines that remove old sessions before the session
    is updated. This seems to work fine.
