ASP.Net Custom session timeout

-

Asp.net set session timeout in web.config, Global.asax and IIS

Introduction:

Here I will explain how to set session timeout in web.config,IIS and in application using asp.net manually.

Description:

By default our websites session timeout is 20 mins after that session will gets expire suppose if we want to set our custom timeout in our applications we can set it in different ways (web.config, global.asax and in IIS)

Check below methods to set session timeout in web.config, global.asax and in iis

In Web.config file we can set session timeout like as shown below 

<configuration>
<system.web>
 <sessionState mode="InProc" timeout="60">
 </sessionState>
 </system.web>
</configuration>
In  Global.asax file we can set session timeout in Session_Start event like this

void Session_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Code that runs when a new session is started
Session.Timeout = 15;
}
In IIS setting you can also set default session timeout.

     1) Open IIS start-->run type-->inetmgr and press enter.

     2) Right Click on "Default Web Site" go to properties

     3) Select Asp.Net tab, click on "Edit Configuration" Button 

     4) Select "State Management tab" in new popup window

     In case if you are using IIS7

     Select Default Web Site >> Click on Session State

     Once open Session State set timeout in under cookie settings section like as shown below
  
If you set session time out in both web.config and in your iis the iis session out value overrides web.config session time out

Source: http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials/getting-started-with-ef-using-mvc/sorting-filtering-and-paging-with-the-entity-framework-in-an-asp-net-mvc-application The following illustration shows what the page will look like when you're done. The column headings are links that the user can click to sort by that column. Clicking a column heading repeatedly toggles between ascending and descending sort order. Add Column Sort Links to the Students Index Page To add sorting to the Student Index page, you'll change the   Index   method of the   Student   controller and add code to the   Student   Index view. Add Sorting Functionality to the Index Method In   Controllers\StudentController.cs , replace the   Index   method with the following code: public ActionResult Index ( string sortOrder ) { ViewBag . NameSortParm = String . IsNullOrEmpty ( sortOrder ) ? "Name_desc" : "" ; ViewBag . DateSortParm = sortOrder == "D...
