Session Timeout in asp.net mvc

In my application i am facing session timeout issue . What happens is that suddenly users kicked out . I surf alot for solution and did many things . Like increasing session timeout , idle timeout ,implemented keepalive . But issue still exists
Is it possible that its due to internet connectivity . Because i saw multiple time in console that net::Error connection-reset , Network-changed etc etc.
If yes then what could be the possible solution for this .
Thanks,

Session timeout is controlled by the following key in web.config...
<system.web>
<sessionState mode="InProc" timeout="30" />
</system.web>

trying to put a timeOut in asp.net

I have a ASP.Net web application in witch i want to put a timeOut (for user that dosen't do anything for too much time). My test use a 3 secondes timeOut. In the web.config :
<sessionState mode="StateServer" stateNetworkTimeout="3"></sessionState>
I get the following error as soon as i run my app:
Cannot request session state in session state server.
I can't find anything relevante for this case...
i tried to put InProc in Mode="" but it dosen't timeout anything.

Looking at this, you're trying to use a State Server and set the idle time between the web server and the state server. To properly configure the web server to use a state server, you must also configure the state server. Go to your state server and run:
systemroot\Microsoft.NET\Framework\versionNumber\aspnet_state.exe
This will install the asp.net state service. Then in the sessionState element in your web config you will need to set the stateConnectionString attibute as well.
<configuration>
<system.web>
<sessionState mode="StateServer"
stateConnectionString="tcpip=SampleStateServer:42424"
cookieless="false"
timeout="20"
stateNetworkTimeout="3"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>
You now have two "timeouts" here. The "timeout" attribute is how long the user can keep a connection to the webserver. The stateNetworkTimeout is how long the webserver to stateserver connection can be idle. The default is 10 seconds.
Hope this helps.

<sessionState mode="InProc" timeout="1" cookieless="false" ></sessionState>
I mistaken secondes for minutes, the Timeout value is about minutes. So i waited 1 minute for my test...

Session Expiration Issue Asp.NET WebForms

I am facing session expiring issue in my ASP.NET Web Forms application. The session is timing out randomly. After 5 to 10 minutes(not exact time but happening randomly) there is no any explicit session. Timeout declaration elsewhere in the code. Given below are settings I have defined in Web.Config file. Any help is much appreciated
<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="350000" enableVersionHeader="false"
maxQueryStringLength="3584" executionTimeout="180000"/>
<sessionState mode="InProc" timeout="30"></sessionState>

How to expire ASP Session if user will not interact with web page for specific time?

am using asp.net with C# for my project.
I want to expire Session if user will not interact with web site for specific time (i.e. say Session will expire if user will not interact with website in next 10 min.).
I use web.config configuration for session timeout as below.
<sessionState mode="InProc" timeout="10" />
Problem: but it expire session after every 10 min. even if user is interacting with web site, The result is user have to logged-in again and again in after every 10 mins.
But, I want that session should expire in 10 min. if user is not interacting with web site within 10 min.

Are you using an authentication method?
If you are you can add the property
SlidingExpiration="true"
into the config, it resets the timeout if > half the time has elapsed
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.security.formsauthentication.slidingexpiration(v=vs.110).aspx

you should check few things
1: Try using sessionstate mode=stateserver.
2:Your IIS Application pool reset or restart time.Is your Application pool restarting or recycling after fix period of time?
3: Check if you are using some where else session time out settings.It shold only be in web.config file.
4: Try using Server.Tranfer instead Response.Redirect() (Just try it. if above not works)

ASP.NET Session State not working in Web.config as well as Global.asax

I have Admin Page wherein I use to do some update work for my site. The problem is the session will expire within a minute or 30 seconds and will logout the user. I have set the Session in Web.Config of the root folder as well as in the Web.Config inside the Admin folder but still the session gets expired soon. I have set it to 60 minutes but it only lasts for 30 seconds or within a minute. Here is my web.config content of root folder
<sessionState timeout="60" mode="InProc"
cookieless="false"></sessionState>
<customErrors mode="Off">
</customErrors>
<trace enabled="true" />
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms
protection="All"
timeout="120"
domain="www.marpallichande.in"
slidingExpiration="true"
name="auth_cookie" />
</authentication>
and this is my setting of web.cofing file inside the Admin folder
<sessionState timeout="60" mode="InProc"
cookieless="false"></sessionState>
and this is my setting in Global.asax file under Session_Start method
Session.Timeout=60;
I am not getting how the session is getting expired so soon or is there any other reason for been getting logged out other than session.

sessionState timeout value is in minutes. I would start by removing Session.TimeOut (and any other timeout values except sessionState timeout, leave it as it is and give it a try. Also, not sure why you have two config files? Do they have same settings?
I have a similar setup but just one config file with
<sessionState mode="InProc" cookieless="false" timeout="10" />
setting it to 10 minutes.

write <sessionState mode="InProc" cookieless="false" timeout="10" /> in the global web.config file of your application.
define Session_OnEnd event by adding a subroutine named Session_OnEnd to the Global.asax file. The Session_OnEnd subroutine is run when the method has been called or when the session has expired. A session expires when the number of minutes specified by the Timeout property passes without a request being made for the session.
The Session_OnEnd event is supported only when the session state Mode property is set to InProc.
Session_onEnd event can be defined in global.asax as:
public void Session_OnEnd()
{
// do your desired task when the session expires
}

Check the root web.config for a session state setting such as:
//Timeout is in minutes
//Note for using the global.asx about InProc: SessionStateModule.End Event
The Session_OnEnd event is only supported when the session-state
HttpSessionState.Mode property value is InProc, which is the default.
If the session-state Mode is set to StateServer or SQLServer, then the
Session_OnEnd event in the Global.asax file is ignored. If the session
state Mode property value is Custom, then support for the
Session_OnEnd event is determined by the custom session-state store
provider.
<system.web>
<sessionState mode="InProc" cookieless="false" timeout="30" />
</system.web>
You should only have this defined in 1 location.

if page logout after some seconds automatically that is because of session expire
<sessionSate mode="StateServer" cookieless="false" timeout="940"/>
write the code in web.config
I find the solution from

There is a setting in IIS as well that may need to be updated, the "idle timeout" setting. The difference is explained here.
By default Idle Timeout is set to 20 minutes, so you will want to set that to 180. This can be done by going into IIS > Application Pools > Right Click Your App Pool > Advanced Settings:

I had the same issue in my ASP.NET MVC web project. Using the following method to set the session duration in the Global.asax.cs file works:
public class ApplicationName : System.Web.HttpApplication
{
protected void Session_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
/* Sets the session duration to 60 minutes. */
Session.Timeout = 60;
}
}
