How to set the timeout for a particular Session Variable.

Hi,

I'm a c# developer.I was dealing with a project based on session.Suddenly I had doubt of setting the timeout for a particular session variable

ie,Suppose I Have,

session["A"],session["B"],session["C"],session["D"] etc as the sessions used in my project.

My Concern is,

Can i Individually set the timeout for session["A"],session["B"], etc.

I tried

using, sesson.timeout (); it's for the entire page.

setting the timeout in web.config is also for the entire project.

Help me please.

Thanks In Advance.

Is this in an ASP.NET application
If you want a certain variable to expire after some time, why don't you use the Cache then, instead of the Session
The problem is offcourse, that Cache doesn't have the same scope as Session. Cache is application specific, whereas Session is user-specific.

However, I do not see why you want to 'expire a session variable' :

Yes, Off course i Can use form authentication

and Using output cache directive would also solve my issue.

but, still my concern is with the session.

If you got any Idea Please Share it with me.

Thank You.

Why don't you use forms authentication .NET has some built-in login mechanisms. One of them is forms authentication.
