Re: How long can my asp.net application run for?

Good Morning Juan, Thanks for the suggestions!

I added code as you suggested below to my project. When I navigated to my
page with the application on it I received the following error:
"Session state can only be used when enableSessionState is set to true,
either in a configuration file or in the Page directive "

Which leads me to believe... that the session state is not what is holding
me up at 20 minutes.

I also checked the application pool recycle settings as you suggested. The
only setting that is checked is 'Recycle worker processes at the following
times: 01:48'

Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Thanks for your time!
