Fron WebConfig :

XML

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

By default its 20 mins. Change it as per your needs.

use this

C#

<sessionState  mode="InProc" cookieless="false"  timeout="120"  />

Thanks & Regard

OP already used it. Don't you see <sessionstate timeout="120"> in question? And also comment to the question?
