Hi,

You should be able to set the session-timeout programmatically by just writing:

Session.Timeout = 60;

Here is the thread I found about this:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/763541/set-long-timeout-for-selected-session-variable[^]
And the MSDN article about the property:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.sessionstate.httpsessionstate.timeout.aspx[^].

Hope this helps.

Best regards and happy coding,
Chris

Thanks for the reply...
If i navigate to some other page after importing excel, which time out property will be effecting? either previous one in web.config or the pro grammatically coded one in that page?

If you set the Timeout programmatically before the upload, the timeout is valid for the whole user-session. So you should still have the longer timeout after the processing.

If you want to reset the timeout after the generate process, do it the same way as you did it to make it longer, and everything should be fine :)
