Hi, I was just wondering if anybody knows how to set the expiration hour for session cookies? Like I want it to expire, let's say 9pm? I don't mind about the timezone problems that can occour, because 95% of my users are within the same timezone. I've been discussing this on other forums as well, and they say it's impossible because you'll have to modify the web.config file to do this. And they say that that's impossible through asp.net without doing it manually. Anyone have any suggestions on this issue? Would love to hear your comments! Regards |

"And they say that that's impossible through asp.net without doing it manually." thats bogus... you can access Web.config through code by loading the XML file into memory and using Xpath to find (and edit) the node needed ------------- Contribute to the working anarchy we fondly call the Internet |

and to help with your 9 pm "problem" why don't you just do a "DateDiff" between "Now() and "9pm" and set a cookie that expires how ever many minutes are between the two having session objects hanging around in server memory for no reason is just asking for server issues ------------- Contribute to the working anarchy we fondly call the Internet |

HttpContext.Current.Session.Timeout() = DateDiff? So this shouldn't work right? ------------- Gone.. |
