I am trying to set the timeout parameter of session state but it doesnt time out.
<sessionState mode="InProc" timeout="1"></sessionState>
I am refreshing the page after 1 minute and I still the session state value.
Why?
Use this way (if in case you are using FA as well)
<system.web>
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms timeout="1"/>
</authentication>
<sessionState timeout="1" />
</system.web>
<system.web>
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms timeout="1"/>
</authentication>
<sessionState timeout="1" />
</system.web>
you welcome
The MSDN says it shouldn't be lower then 4 minutes. Refer to the following it might help:

I have this in my web.config:
...
<system.web>
<sessionState mode="InProc" timeout="30" cookieless="UseCookies" />
<authentication mode="Form">
<forms loginUrl="http://myurl" path="/" cookieless="UseCookies" slidingExpiration="true" requireSSL="true" />
</authentication>
...
How can I get the value of loginurl at runtime?
System.Web.Security.FormsAuthentication.LoginUrl
Gets the URL for the login page that the FormsAuthentication class
will redirect to.
Details at MSDN.
my site (ASP.NET webForm ) log out with out user request , user forced to login page and interrupt his work ? please advice ...
this line from my web.config
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="~/Account/XXXXXXX.aspx" timeout="2880" />

Try increasing the Session timeout value, by default this is 30 minutes.
<system.web>
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="~/Account/XXXXXXX.aspx" timeout="2880"/>
</authentication>
<sessionState timeout="3000" />
</system.web>
I have read about a million posts online regarding session timeout in config file and I am near tears. I have the following code in my config file. I have set the timeout to 1 minute as a test. The session does indeed end within 1 minutee however, if I set to 120 (2 hours) which is what i want, the session end after the default time of 20 minutes i believe. Can anyone offer some help.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
<sessionState mode="InProc" cookieless="false" timeout="1" >
</sessionState>
<compilation debug="true"/>
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms defaultUrl="~/Default.aspx"
loginUrl="~/Default.aspx"
name=".ASPXFORMSAUTH"
slidingExpiration="true"
timeout="1" />
</authentication>
<customErrors mode="Off" />
</system.web>
</configuration>
If an app pool is idle for 20 minutes it will recycle by default, see image below.
See this Microsoft post about changing the default.
UPDATE
If you do not have access to the IIS Application Pool Settings you can try the adding the following to your web.config however the recommended approach is via IIS
<configuration>
<system.web>
<sessionState mode="InProc" timeout="120" />
</system.web>
</configuration>

I used this following code to set authenticate cookie :
System.Web.Security.FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(Profile.Email, true);
my question is how I can increase life-time for this authentication cookie ?
The timeout is set primarily in the web.config file, you can do it in code but I wouldn't advise it.
These are the default settings, you can see the timeout value that's specified in minutes.
<system.web>
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="Login.aspx"
protection="All"
timeout="30"
name=".ASPXAUTH"
path="/"
requireSSL="false"
slidingExpiration="true"
defaultUrl="default.aspx"
cookieless="UseDeviceProfile"
enableCrossAppRedirects="false" />
</authentication>
</system.web>
This is how to set that time up. (For instance, for two weeks expiration).
var cookie = FormsAuthentication.GetAuthCookie("user-name", false);
cookie.Expires = DateTime.UtcNow.AddDays(14);
Response.Cookies.Add(cookie);
