I had a simple question that I needed some clarification on regarding sesison variables.

In my ASP.NET application, I changed the timeout value in the web.config and IIS 5.0 to
1 minute.
In webform1.aspx, in the page_load event, I create a session variable
Session("x") = 5.

I have a button on the page and I redirect to webform2.aspx. In the page_load of webform2.aspx, I read the value of the session variable and display it in the label.

I display webform1.aspx on the browser, sit idle for a couple of minutes and click on the
button to go to webform2.aspx and am still able to display the value 5 in the label.

My understanding is that if the session times out, I should not have access to any session data or maybe the session is not timing out...

I would really appreciate any help in this regard.

I am using XP professional and IIS 5.
 
probably the session does not expire... leave the setting sin IIS as they are and check the web.config file again. posting some code might help us better understand your problem.
