provide some more details on your configuration mate.

Do you some code that may be performing the redirection,
Do you have ANY redirection on the server/client side?

_ProgProg_ 7-May-13 10:04am

i am only redirecting to the login page if the user does't have privilage to that page
and this code is in the master page load.
i get the user privilage from a datatable stored in the session

Solution 3

You need to set the SessionState Timeout, this will keep the session for 20 minutes before having to log back in:

XML

<configuration>
     <system.web>
         <sessionState timeout="20" />
     </system.web>
</configuration>

Try storing your session state in SQL its quite useful

here are some references if you like the approach:

Solution 7

Try to use less Session Variable , remove them when they are not in use
because Session Variables are stored in Server Memory , using more Session variable may Slowdown your application performance.

Sometime you may get Session TimeOut error.
