How to increase Session timeout in MVC 3

I have an ASP.NET MVC 3 (Razor) Application and I am faced with frequent session timeouts.
Is there a way to increase the value of the session?

Answer 1

You're not providing enough details, such as your configuration, description of the problem etc.

If not, you could use a configuration like this in your web.config file :

<configuration>   ...   <system.web>     <sessionState mode="InProc" timeout="30" />   </system.web>   ... </configuration> 

Here the session timeout is being set to 30 minutes, for example.

Answer 2

In web.config:

<sessionState mode="InProc" timeout="20"/>

You have to change the value of timeout attribute.
