I store some information in Session but the Session gets destroyed each time. I don’t know why this is happening. I am using IIS7.

This is the setting which I have made:

<sessionState cookieless="AutoDetect" mode="InProc" timeout="120" />

I am storing some information while the user is getting registering but my client complains that when he sits idle for 20-30 minutes the information is lost. I am running application in one custom defined application pool whose idle timeout is 20 minutes (in properties of app pool). Can that be the problem?

Secondly even though I have specified timeout to be 120 minutes but when I click on “Session state” icon in IIS7 it doesn’t show 120 minutes anywhere. What can be the problem?

Update: In cookie settings in “Session state” in IIS7 I see timeout as 5 minutes for Asp_NetSessionId. Can that be the culprit?

    Well if your application pool is being destroyed after 20 minutes then that would be a problem considering your session is inproc. Increase the timeout of the application pool to be 120 minutes
