| If you want the session to time-out in 10 minutes you can set this value in the web.config file. Look for the sessionState in the web.config file and you will find a timeout setting there which by default is set to 20. |

| You cannot set it to never expire because the server may need to reclaim the memory used in the session. If you are worried about the session timing out you may want to look into using cookies to store user specific information.Dustin Michaels |

Also the higher that value is the bigger the load is on the server, so don't set it to high. BTW: if you are timing out way too much it could be because a developer is compiling or working on a system that is already in production. In your development environment have you seperated prod vs. dev ?
