Public Property Timeout As Integer
Dim instance As HttpSessionState
Dim value As Integer
value = instance.Timeout
instance.Timeout = value
public int Timeout { get; set; }
public:
property int Timeout {
int get ();
void set (int value);
}
public function get Timeout () : int
public function set Timeout (value : int)
The Timeout property can be set in the Web.config file for an application using the timeout attribute of the sessionState configuration element, or you can set the Timeout property value directly using application code.
The Timeout property cannot be set to a value greater than 525,600 minutes (1 year). The default value is 20 minutes.
The following code example sets the timeout session attribute to 30 minutes in the Web.config file.
<configuration>
<system.web>
<sessionState
mode="InProc"
cookieless="true"
timeout="30" />
</system.web>
</configuration>
