How to control session timeout in WebConfig?

[Guest]

Hi -

I'm trying to control the error that is thrown when the session times out.
My code is as follows:

<customErrors
mode="RemoteOnly">
<error
redirect="includes/reload.aspx?iOP=1"
statusCode="Timeout" />
</customErrors>

Any ideas why this isn't working?

Thanks,

The method you use is for redirecting HTTP statuscodes like 404 not found
or 500 internal error.
There isn't such a thing as a Timeout status code. Check out http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...us/cpgenref/html/gngrfcustomerrorssection.asp


Cracefully detecting a session timout can be done by placing some code at
the start of each page. Check out this discussion if it meets your needs :

Let me know it helped you or not..

Thanks Tom,

This helps some, and i was not clear in my previous example in using just
the work "Timeout". What i'm trying to find is the IIS generated StatusCode
for Session State timeout? I cannot seem to find this number anywhere, and i
don't want to use the general 500 statuscode error.

Thanks,

Hi Charlie,

HTTP statuscodes are very general and you can't trap a session time out with
it. Take a look here :

Let me know if you have any more questions...
