Question

Is it possible to get the REMAINING session timeout using sessionState in ASP.net

Here is the sessionState code in my webconfig file.

<sessionState 
  mode="SQLServer" 
  allowCustomSqlDatabase="true" 
  sqlConnectionString="my connection here" 
  timeout="100">
</sessionState>

Thanks

Yes you can use the following code to get the remaining time

    HttpSessionState session = HttpContext.Current.Session;//Return current sesion
    DateTime? sessionStart = session[SessionKeys.SessionStart] as DateTime?;//Convert into DateTime object
    if(sessionStart.HasValue)//Check if session has not expired
    TimeSpan remaining = sessionStart.Value-DateTime.Now ;//Get the remaining time
