ASP.NET Session does not timeout on using ReportViewer Control.

Hi,

We are using the ReportViewer control to display SSRS reports in our ASP.NET application. On pages where we use the ReportViewer control the session does not time out. The reason for this is the ReportViewer control emits a "setTimeOut" javascript function which reads the Session timeout value from the web.config and pings the server 1 minute before the configured value and keeps the session alive. For example, if the session timeout value is 5 minutes, the ReportViewer pings the server on the 4th minute. We used fidldler to verify this behavior. In aiddition, if we remove the ReportViewer control from the page, the sessions times out as expected.

We also tried using the ReportViewer control in a sample application and observed the same behaviour.

Has anyone faced this issue?

Regards,

Saurabh

In our case the session does not timeout. The ReportViewer control is keeping the ASP.NET session alive.
