Question

net 2.0 and I want admin session variable timeout for 1 hour.

Is it possible? and How?

I am using windows authentication.

You can set the session timeout globally in web.config:

<configuration>   <system.web>     <sessionState        mode='InProc'       cookieless='true'       timeout='30' />   </system.web> </configuration> 

And you can programmatically override that setting in your code (e.g. for the admin’s session only), by setting Session.Timeout, e.g:

// set the current session's timeout to 60 minutes // if the current user is an admin if (currentUserIsAdmin)     Session.Timeout = 60;  

Have a look at this MSDN page for details.
