        var timer1, timer2;
        document.onkeypress=resetTimer;
        document.onmousemove=resetTimer;
        function resetTimer()
        {
            document.getElementById('timeoutPopup').style.display='none';
            clearTimeout(timer1);
            clearTimeout(timer2);

            // waiting time in minutes
            var wait=10;

            // alert user one minute before
            timer1=setTimeout("alertUser()", (60000*wait)-1);

            // logout user
            timer2=setTimeout("logout()", 60000*wait);
        }

        function alertUser()
        {
            document.getElementById('timeoutPopup').style.display='block';
        }

        function logout()
        {

        }

First argument for setTimeout is a function handle. JS Timing

<script type="text/javascript">
        var timer1, timer2;
        document.onkeypress=resetTimer;
        document.onmousemove=resetTimer;
        function resetTimer()
        {
           document.getElementById('timeoutPopup').style.display='none';
           clearTimeout(timer1);
           clearTimeout(timer2);
                // waiting time in minutes
            var wait=10;

           // alert user one minute before
            timer1=setTimeout(alertUser, (60000*wait)-1);

            // logout user
            timer2=setTimeout(logout, 60000*wait);
        }

        function alertUser()
        {
            document.getElementById('timeoutPopup').style.display='block';
        }

        function logout()
        {
            window.location.href='Logout.aspx';
        }



} </script>

You can achieve this by adding the following code in web config:

 <system.web>
    <sessionState timeout="10"></sessionState>
 </system.web>

Here timeout=10 implies after 10 Minutes, the session will be expired and therefore, automatic logout will be accomplished

This would just make the session timeout, but an actual logout wont happen(unless you use the session to make an auth request)IF you are using forms authentication then please set the forms authentication time out to 10 and set the sliding expiration =false http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17812994/forms-authentication-timeout-vs-sessionstate-timeout – Rajat banerjee Mar 18 '14 at 07:24

I think you can use html meta tag for this

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="30">

This will cause your page to refresh after 30 seconds (change time as you need) and while refreshing you can check the session in your server side and can do the logic what you want.

this does not work ideally. it forces the page to refresh even if the user is doing something, which is inconvenient and poses a risk on losing unsaved data input. – ITWitch Dec 08 '15 at 07:48
