To increase the timeout I have written the following codes in we.config

XML

<membership defaultprovider="ProjectProvider" userisonlinetimewindow="720">
			<providers>
				<add name="ProjectProvider" type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" connectionstringname="ConnectionString" applicationname="MyApp" enablepasswordretrieval="true" enablepasswordreset="true" requiresquestionandanswer="true" requiresuniqueemail="true" passwordformat="Clear" maxinvalidpasswordattempts="5" passwordattemptwindow="10" minrequiredpasswordlength="5" minrequirednonalphanumericcharacters="0" />
			</providers>
</membership>


<rolemanager cacherolesincookie="true" enabled="true" defaultprovider="ProjectRoleProvider" cookietimeout="720">
			<providers>
				<add name="ProjectRoleProvider" type="System.Web.Security.SqlRoleProvider" connectionstringname="ConnectionString" applicationname="MyApp" />
			</providers>
		</rolemanager>
		<authentication mode="Forms">
			<forms defaultUrl="Default.aspx" loginUrl="Login.aspx" timeout="720">
			</forms>
		</authentication>

But, still it automatically logs out after 5-6 minuites. Someone please help me to disable this timeout feature.

did you provided timeout anywhere else(other than this) in any page check that

Abdullah Al-Muzahid 23-Dec-12 7:38am

no

Abhishek Pant 23-Dec-12 7:58am

delete time out from your webconfig for cookiee part & write this on cookie event part
c1.Expires=DateTime.Now.AddHours(2); //this provides cookiee valid for 2hrs

Dear Abhishek Pant, I am not clear about your solution. Would you please explain it.

there is another problem in this application. If a page is opened fo more than 5-6 minuites, it throws a runtime error when users click on some button of the page. For that I wrote in the web.config

httpRuntime maxRequestLength="4000" executionTimeout="45"

I think clicking those button will have some errors at runtime the operations were not handled properly and and for logout problem I think your session is not generated properly i.e. some conflict there on session logout.
