hi

 I use a session variable to fill the repeater on a page.Example :

if(Session["ProductGroupID"]!=null)

{

// Some Code

string GroupID= Session["ProductID"].ToSting();

ProductList(GroupID);

}

How I can increase Timeout of This Session ?

In Web.Config file, you can set any value in minutes. Default is 20 minutes

    <system.web>  
        <sessionState timeout="30"></sessionState>  
    </system.web>

hi

if you want to be set programmatically you can set it in Global File

Global.asax file: Under the Session_Start method, set the timeout property of the session to the required value like this

 public class Global : HttpApplication
    {  
        protected void Session_Start(Object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Session.Timeout = 20 ;
        }
         
    }
