Jeez, you *are* argumentative aren't you ?

Perhaps. And you are trying to imply that you aren't?

...even when you're -evidently- mistaken.

Well, the evidence for that is still to be presented.

I supplied you with sample code which proves that what you stated is not true.
Prove that my sample code isn't valid by supplying us with code which proves you're right.

No, you haven't. The sample code is valid, but it doesn't at all prove what you now claim that it does.

You should re-read my sample code.

I have re-read your sample code, and even tried it for myself. It works as expected, but it still has no bearing on this discussion. The only thing that contradicts what I have said, is the conclusions that you mistakenly have drawn from the result.

What I demonstrated is that the *session*, not the application, started at a certain time,
and that one minute and 1 second after the session started, if the timeout is set to 1 minute,
the timeout will occur, and will not live for up to 2 minutes, like you -mistakenly- posted.

When the application starts at the same time as the session, as in your test, it doesn't prove that the timeout interval is based on the starting time of the session rather than the application. As they are the same, the test doesn't prove anything at all.

Here's what you wrote :

"The IIS only clears out old sessions once a minute, so the sessions will live up to two minutes."

First of all, IIS has nothing to do with ASP.NET session timeouts.
IIS doesn't "clear out" anything regarding ASP.NET sessions.

Ok, it might not IIS itself, but ASP.NET, that runs in the IIS environment, that does that. Does it make any difference, really? Is that what you are so upset about?

Secondly, the sessions will *not* live "up to two minutes".
They will timeout on the first second after the 1st minute expires.

It would be simpler to admit that you're mistaken...on both counts.
We all make mistakes...and this time you made one.

Have you tested that ?
Yes, I have.

That is not true.
Yes, it is.

IIS has nothing to do with session length.
Session length is determined by ASP.NET.

And, invariably, if you set the timeout to 1 minute,
at one minute and 1 second after that time, a new session will start.

See my just-sent reply to Steven Cheng and test it yourself.
Yes, if you start a web application by requesting a page from it, you will naturally also start the mechanism for timing out the pages at the exact same time.

What you are demonstrating is that the timeout is occuring at one minute intervals from the starting time of the application, not that it is running every second.
