Session timeout in .config file

[alien2_51]

I have an ASP.Net application running one level above the root web server.
The root web server is configured for a 60 min session timeout.
If I omit the timeout setting in the web.config eg..{
<sessionState
mode="InProc"
stateConnectionString="tcpip=127.0.0.1:42424"
stateNetworkTimeout="10"
sqlConnectionString="data source=127.0.0.1;user id=sa;password="
cookieless="false"
<!--***remove this line --- timeout="20" -->
/>
}
for the nested virtual, should I expect to inherit the session timeout from
the parent, or retain the default (20 min)...?

desired result: Nested virtual inherits the parents session timeout (60 min)

??

Hi
Q316448 sais that this attribute is about SECONDS not about minutes. And it
is a per request timeout (between stateserver and webserver).
When you use StateServer mode in session state attributes, you can specify
an additional attribute, stateNetworkTimeout. This attribute specifies the
number of seconds that a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
(TCP/IP) network request can be idle before the request times out.
So this attribute
< timeout="60" -->
Should not be removed :)

Yes, it should inherit. Unless it has it's own application settings.
