How to set session timeout in web config

Question

I have tried very hard but cannot find a solution on how to set session timeout value for in-process session for an ASP.Net web application.

I am using VSTS 2020 + .Net 3.5 + C#. Here is what I wrote by myself to set timeout to be 1 minute, is it correct?

I wrote under system.web section in the web.config

<sessionState timeout="1" mode="InProc" />

Hello @kartik,

If you want to set the timeout to 20 minutes, use something like this:

    <configuration>
      <system.web>
         <sessionState timeout="20"></sessionState>
      </system.web>
    </configuration>

Hope it helps!!

Thank you!!
