Session Timeout

[Guest]

I am having problems with my sessions timing out on a windows 2003 server. I
have set the timeout in the web.config as well as in the application
properties. It works fine on a windows 2000 server. Any ideas?

if you are using inproc sessions, you also need to turn off auto appdomain
recycles.

run inetmgr from the run command

-locate the application pool that your app is running in
-change the worker process recycling time
-also I would recommend under the performance tab unchecking the
shutdown after idle time check box.

600 Minutes session timeout is a bad thing to have.

Do not touch 20 minutes value, instead you can implement following code to preserve session if browser is open

The idea is to have a Browser request an aspx page every 10 minutes. So it will refresh the session. If browser is closed then session will expire in 20 minutes.



Add this script to each page.

<script language="Javascript">
window.setInterval("renewSession()", 100000);

function renewSession()
{
document.images("renewSession").src = "/renewSession.aspx?par=" + Math.random();
}
</script>

Add somewere on a page transparent gif.
<IMG name="renewSession" height=6 src="/English/Club/images/transparentpixal.gif" width=1 border=0>


Then you need to have renewSession.aspx which will return 1x1 transparent pixel GIF.


This is a code for that page
public class renewSession : System.Web.UI.Page

{

static byte [] gif = {0x47,0x49,0x46,0x38,0x39,0x61,0x01,0x00,0x01,0x00,0x91,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x21,0xf9,0x04,0x09,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x2c,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x01,0x00,0x01,0x00,0x00,0x08,0x04,0x00,0x01,0x04,0x04,0x00,0x3b,0x00};

override protected void OnInit(EventArgs e)

{



InitializeComponent();

base.OnInit(e);

}


private void InitializeComponent()

{

Response.AddHeader("ContentType", "image/gif");

Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);

Response.BinaryWrite(gif);

Response.End();

}

}
