Session.Timeout question

[windsurfer]

I am having problems using Session.Timeout.
1. I set it to 90. It seems to expire much sooner
2. It seems to expire despite a user requesting a page. (timeout isn't reset?)

I have been reading the posts and it seems that jodo overrides this property.

Is this true?

I read something about application pools. And I also read that Session.Timeout isn't reliable in the first place.
I don't want to use cookies since so many people have disabled them in their browsers. A database solution seems possible, but also seems complicated.

Does anyone have an answer to these thorny issues?

Thanks,
SV

hello SV,

90 minutes is overridden by the IIS default 20, however we can set it to 90 for you manualy, but on windows 2003 it still wont last 90 minutes.

Database is the way to go, using ASP.NET you can use the State Server, I am not sure the best ASP method to do this.

Thanks for the reply Stephen.
My customer has agreed to use cookies on the site. This seems to work so we will go that route. But, there seems to be more and more reason to learn .net!
