No required "Session Timeout",

Question

In my project session was only available for 30 minutes (Which is by default).

BUT... I want to disable this kind of session timeout. Means I required unlimited time for session by which my website never get log-in process again.

which version of asp.net frame work r u using. Framework 4 has 20 minutes default. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12756910/session-time-out-in-asp-net-4-0-on-iis-7-5 — शेखर, Jun 14 '13 at 10:06

NEVER do this!

If user press X button on his browser his session (and all it's objects) will always be kept in server memory!

The solution is keeping ASP.NET Session alive using this simple javascript hack, not making extremely long sessions.

Javascript forces the page to post empty data to the server, it's a kind of ping.
Server doesn't post anything back but the session timeout is automatically resetted.
You can configure session time on 20 mins, and ping timer on 19 mins.

by this session is time out at 120 minutes. But i required unlimited. – Rajan Vachhani Jun 14 '13 at 09:58
You can not set unlimited. For what you want there are other techniques such as cookies. – kostas ch. Jun 14 '13 at 10:00
If existing unlimited then your server after some time would "burn". – kostas ch. Jun 14 '13 at 10:01
