Session.TimeOut and refresh times
- Thread starter atferraz
- Start date
Another way is to include a meta refresh tag in the <head> section of your page like this:
<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="600">
</head>
The content part is the number of seconds before the page is reloaded, 10 minutes in this example (600 seconds).
The only problem is that if the user begins a form entry and hasn't submitted by the refresh time, the page will reload and any form entries will be lost.
Set the refresh time to be a little less than your ASP session timeout time to guarantee that the page reloads and the session stays active.

by refreshing after sometime (atuomatically), it keeps the session alive and atferraz dont want the memory issues by keeping a lot of sessions alive.
cookies in ur case is good. If u are ready to keep sessions for more longer alive, set the session.timeout property to forever.
