Timeout Property for the Session Object in the Web.config file

[somoza.albert]

Hello,

I put the following line into my Web.config file:

<system.web>
<sessionState
mode="InProc"
cookieless="true"
timeout="1"
/>

When I run the application via Visual Studio 2005, it brings up my
main Web Page, but nothing happens after 1 minute. I would have
thought that I would get an error message or some sort of status
message. What am I doing wrong? How can I test out the timeout
feature?

Thanks
Sam

Sam,

The timeout is for the session state on the server. It is not going to
cause a change in the browser. If your browser tries to reconnect to the
server with that URL (which indicates session state, since it should have
been changed) then ASP.NET should react as if a new session was created.
