Hi,

This look pretty complicated :-)
Why don't you just store the DateTime directly in to Session?
Code is C#, but I think you get the idea...

store in session
****************

//store initial value:
Context.Session.Add("LastAccess", DateTime.Now);

get elapsed time
****************

//get time passed:
DateTime lastAccess = (DateTime)Session["LastAccess"];

//get the elapsed time
TimeSpan difference = DateTime.Now.Subtract(lastAccess);

hth, Philipp
