  Hi

  alihusain_77,

  You can use timeout property of session state in web.config file as follows.

  <system.web>
   <sessionState mode="InProc" cookieless="false" timeout="80" />
  </system.web>

  Here as mentioned above timeout="80" will set your ideal time to 80 mins.  The maximum value is  525,600 minutes (1 year).

  Hi,

  You tried the timeout found at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/h6bb9cz9(v=vs.100).aspx ? Or do you mean you want to change this programmtically ?

  Not sure what is the problem you are trying to solve but it might be best to avoid depending on long session ('for example being able to restore a value if the session terminated). You could also perhaps use the SQL Server session provider.

  If you are trying to solve a problem it sometimes best to directly discuss the source issue which may give other ideas about how to solve it.

  Hello,

  You should also increase the app pool time out.
