About Session Alive

Question

hello everyone, Hope, everyone is fine. I am working in MVC and Sql Database and IIS 7. I have created Session["UserId"] after Login, but after 10 or 20 mins, it is getting expired. I have tried all web.config changes with timeout attribute. Also, i have tried generic handler option But could not fix that issue. So please someone guide me to keep that session alive until user manually logs out from app. Thank you in advance !

hello Laxmidhar Sahoo , Thank you for your reply. I am creating Session["UserId"] on the login page, so that I can use that Session on another page, to fetch user details or other info. So yes, want to use that session from Controller to Controller or might need that session on View as well. I am just looking for a solution in which the session should not be expired so quickly atleast for a long time

hello, Thanks for your reply. Why i am lookig for this code is : I am uploading 500+ MB file on onchange event.It takes more than 30-50 mins to upload file. Also, i have Save button to save other fields along with filename. After file uploaded completely when i click on SAVE button after 30-50 mins, the session gets expired and then nothing happens. So i want to extend session timeout.
