By default, Session timeouts are set to expire in ASP.NET in 20 minutes. To increase the timeout or expiry you should change the timeout attribute for SessionState in the web.config file

XML

<sessionState  timeout="40" />
Note that if you are using Forms authentication, the Forms timeout setting will log the user out after the set timeout period so you will also have to adjust this attribute:
<authentication mode="Forms">
   <forms timeout="40"/>
</authentication>

You can change in webb.config file here is the example

XML

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<configuration>
<system.web>
    <compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.5"/>
    <httpRuntime targetFramework="4.5"  />
    <sessionState timeout="20000"></sessionState>
  </system.web>
<pre></configuration>

Put this code on Page_Load,

Session.Timeout = 60   // 60 minutes; MAX is 1440 (if I'm not mistaken)

You can do that in different ways. I have provided 2 ways here.

XML

In web.config
<sessionState timeout = "XX" mode = "InProc">
Default value must be there as 20

Else you can do that from IIS level
On IIS select the website you want to change the default session time out. Click on "Session State". provide the Time-out(in minutes):
