Question

In web.config there is a parameter:

<authentication mode="Forms">
  <forms timeout="50"/>
</authentication>

I can find how long is left by this code:

   if (Page.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
   {
      FormsIdentity id = (FormsIdentity)Page.User.Identity;
      FormsAuthenticationTicket ticket = id.Ticket;
   }

And in web.config there is:

<sessionState timeout="50"/>

can I find the ticket of the sessionState period?

Answer 1

You can programatically find the session timeout from any code behind file with

int timeout = Session.Timeout;

or from inside a class with

int timeout = HttpContext.Current.Session.Timeout;
