Tony Hedge (VIP) Hello, My .NET web app sets the following session variable in one of the code behinds: HttpContext.Current.Session("UserID") = "123" In my web.config I have set the timeout property of the <sessionState> element to "2". Yet when I hit the page in question after 5, 10, 30 minutes the above session variable still has a value. (A label control text is set equal to the session variable value.) What am I missing here? Now can I get timeout to work? Thanks - Hedge Reply to this message...        Marina If the variable is being set every time, then it will be set on the new session as well. You should provide more code if there is more to it. "Tony Hedge" <Click here to reveal e-mail address> wrote in message news:Click here to reveal e-mail address...

You provided very little information that could actually be used to reproduce what is going on or to figure out why it would happen. You should put together a short test page that can be run to reproduce the problem. "Tony Hedge" <Click here to reveal e-mail address> wrote in message news:Click here to reveal e-mail address...

Without being verbose, basic flow is that Page A sets a session variable, and a button is hit to redirect flow to Page B. After x minutes I hit a button on Page B that reads the value out of the session variable and displays its value. Web.config has session timeout set to 2 minutes so if I hit the button on Page B after 15 minutes there should not be a value for the session variable. Perhps my question should be as follows: What else besides setting the timeout attribute in <sessionState> is needed to make this all work.
