# How to expire session after 10 minutes?

I have to expire a [session](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12042/session-in-c-sharp) after 30 [minutes](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/23598/best-wedding-photographer-inspire-the-best-to-protect-your-valuable-minutes) when [user](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/13001/multi-statement-table-valued-user-defined-function-in-sql-server) doesnt do any work for 30 minutes But when user does any work then session should not expire.

How can I do this?

Set your Session.Timeout to be 30\

Session.Timeout = 30;

You can do this on the session start event in the global.asax file, or in your web.config file\

```
<configuration>  <system.web>    <sessionState timeout="20"></sessionState>  </system.web></configuration>
```
