timeout... session + forms authentication

[Guest]

I have a web application with 20 minutes set for the session and forms
authentication timeouts.

But... I have one user who wants a timeout of hours...

I figure I could use an IFrame to keep the session alive....

KEEPALIVE.aspx has:

private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
Response.AddHeader("Refresh",8000);
}

MyRegPage.aspx has:

<IFRAME id=KEEPALIVE src="KEEPALIVE.aspx"
frameBorder=no width=0 height=0 runat="server"></IFRAME>

What is the best way to keep the forms authentication going for way longer
than the default?

Ok the line should be Response.AddHeader("Refresh",1190); where 1200 = 20
minutes.

I use an ajax method that updates a time stamp in my database for
locking purposes. This way the page never times out. you don't have to
do the database call just a simple are you there method will keep the
session alive.
