timeout sets the amount of time, in minutes, allowed between requests before the session-state provider terminates the session.

After the allowed time, the session is officially dead, RIP.

If you need to know a little more about ASP.NET Session:

MSDN wrote:
ASP.NET session state enables you to store and retrieve values for a user as the user navigates ASP.NET pages in a Web application. HTTP is a stateless protocol. This means that a Web server treats each HTTP request for a page as an independent request. The server retains no knowledge of variable values that were used during previous requests. ASP.NET session state identifies requests from the same browser during a limited time window as a session, and provides a way to persist variable values for the duration of that session. By default, ASP.NET session state is enabled for all ASP.NET applications.

Available session state modes and their meanings:

- InProc mode, which stores session state in memory on the Web server. This is the default.

- StateServer mode, which stores session state in a separate process called the ASP.NET state service. This ensures that session state is preserved if the Web application is restarted and also makes session state available to multiple Web servers in a Web farm.

- SQLServer mode stores session state in a SQL Server database. This ensures that session state is preserved if the Web application is restarted and also makes session state available to multiple Web servers in a Web farm.

- Custom mode, which enables you to specify a custom storage provider.

- Off mode, which disables session state.

I think you need to refer to this article to make confusions clear.After reading that,you will be able to understand almost everything related to session.

In your code posted in question,its the time in minutes the session will be alive.(30 or 1000)
