IsNewSession returning true always but has a session ID?

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

If Im correct this means that the session has timeout? But in web.config is set to 30 minutes and the differences between the time its created and called again is about a minutes.

First I thought it was because I was using a generic handler. But now Im making the call to a web form and it does the same. Think it has to do with making the request from ajax.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

I think you forgot to ask the actual question..

Oh sorry if I wasn't that clear bud. What is the cause of the session timing out every time I made a request from ajax?

There are many reasons for this, hard to tell without more details and code.
Check if session id header is sent along with AJAX request (use Fiddler or Firebug). If you're using 'Cookieless' sessions, you'll need to manually append session id to query string of your AJAX request.
When using generic handlers you'll need to implement IRequiresSessionState interface on it.

If you are calling a webservice make sure you add [WebMethod(EnableSession = true)] to your function.

If you are calling a webservice make sure you add
