Is this to be in web.config file or at .cs file? – Karthik Malla Jun 21 '11 at 15:34

I could not understand its syntax in .cs file. – Karthik Malla Jun 21 '11 at 15:50
Can you please provide me with proper syntax where to be placed for a button click and Session["transfer"] = "hello"; – Karthik Malla Jun 21 '11 at 15:56

Use this code in your web.config and set timeout to whatever you want to. The default timeout is 20 mins.

<configuration>
  <system.web>
     <sessionState 
         timeout="100" 
     />
  </system.web>
</configuration>

From your code behind you can use following

Session.TimeOut=100;
