By default, Session timeouts are set to expire in ASP.NET in 20 minutes.
To increase the timeout or expiry you should change the timeout attribute for SessionState in the web.config file

C#

<sessionState  timeout="40" />

Note that if you are using Forms authentication, the Forms timeout setting will log the user out after the set timeout period so you will also have to adjust this attribute:

HTML

<authentication mode="Forms">
          <forms timeout="40"/>
    </authentication>

Redirecting user to login page after session timeout is similar to refreshing the page after certain intervals method. Only thing which will differ is that calculating time after which the page has to be redirected. Hence time can be calculated using Session.timeout property which will give us session timeout value for that session. Add some grace timings to that value and redirect the user to the login page automatically.

Using Window.setTimeout method
In the page Load event:

C#

body.Attributes.Add("onLoad", "window.setTimeout(""window.location.href='login.aspx'""," & (Session.Timeout * 60 * 1000) + 10000 & ");")

Using Meta Tag - Refresh

C#

Response.AppendHeader("Refresh", Convert.ToString((Session.Timeout * 60) + 10) & "; URL=Login.aspx")

Both these methods will redirect the user to login page after session timeout + 10 seconds. This is how you can redirect the user to login page after session timeout without user interaction.
