    Hi,

    Is it possible to get the IIS session state timeout value from the machine the site is hosted on (in C# code)?

    Regards

    IIS session state is just the session state configured for the ASP.NET in question.  You can retrieve the timeout value within ASP.NET by querying the Timeout property of the session.  Note that each application can have a different timeout so you have to query within the context of the application.

    If you are interested in doing this at the server level then you'll have to switch to the IIS metadata API.

    Hi blabbermouth,

    The questions here should be the ASP.NET issue. You will need to post the questions to the IIS forum for more professional supports.

    Or for the session state, you can also post the questions to the ASP.NET forum:

    I will help you to move your thread to the off-topic forum. Thank you for understandings.

    Best Regards

    I disagree with this categorization.  While the question was worded awkwardly, the original poster wanted to know how to retrieve the session time-out in their C# ASP.NET application.
