How can I set Application State expiration?

I have an Asp.Net application. For performance reason, some data is stored in Application State, like Application["MyData"] = myData; Can I configure it to make the data get cleared regularly?

Thanks.

Yes you can do it explicitly , two ways

Application state is in IIS in the worker process application pool. timeout settings here would do it

otherwise in c#

ApplicationPool.ProcessModel.PeriodicRestart.Time = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5);

//or based on idle.  just play around with ApplicationPool. items

ApplicationPool.ProcessModel.IdleTimeout = 600000;

They are just like variables, hence the name Application Variables. You can just reassign them to a new value.

Application["MyData"] = myData;
///Do something.
...
..
.
Application["MyData"] = myNewData;

Edit:

Application variables are specifically designed to last the lifetime of the application and not expire until the application closes. What you can do is assign every user a session variable who accesses your application and make it expire when you want.
