<system.web>
  <authentication mode="Forms">
      <forms timeout="70"/>
  </authentication>
  <sessionState timeout="80"/>
</system.web>

It works for me, copy it to your web.config file.

 <sessionState cookieless="false" timeout="30" mode="InProc"/>
  <authentication mode="Forms">
      <forms name="AppRootForms" loginUrl="LoginPage.aspx" protection="All" timeout="30" path="/" slidingExpiration="true"/>
    </authentication>
<system.webServer>
     <!--<max limit for storing session />-->
    <asp>
         <session allowSessionState="true" max="100000" timeout="00:30:00" />
    </asp>
</system.webServer>

If you are using forms authentication then the default value of session timeout is 30min.Try this code to increase session timeout.

<system.web>
  <authentication mode="Forms">
      <forms timeout="70"/>
  </authentication>
  <sessionstate timeout="80"/>
</system.web>

I think the code help you.

I wanted to add my final solution. After reading that setting it in the config was "incorrect".

            if (model.RememberMe)
            {
                var ASPCookie = Request.Cookies["ASP.NET_SessionId"];
                ASPCookie.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(15);
                Response.SetCookie(ASPCookie);
            }

You can increase the session time-out in asp.net in any one of the following ways

Using IIS Version 7 :

  1. Open up IIS
  2. Select your website from the list of sites
  3. Click on Session state on the right
  4. Now enter your session timeout under the cookie settings

OR

Web.config : Open up your web.config file and under the system.web section add the following :

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

Replace 20 with whatever number you wish.

OR

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

Session.Timeout = "20";

Note : If you are setting a session timeout in both IIS as well as web.config, then the one in IIS will override the one in web.config

Hope this helps!
