  If your sessions are expiring too fast then you need to change the session expiry in your config file to a longer period of time.

  Also you will most likely want to make sure that sliding expiry is enabled in the config aswell (unless you only plan on letting users log in for a set amount of time).

  When the going get's tough, the tough outsource and take a vacation... lol I wish :(

  hi..

  You have to set session time out in web.confi file..By default the time will be set 20 minutes ..For your needs change the timeout..

  <sessionState cookieless="UseCookies" mode="InProc" timeout="20">
  </sessionState>
