check your global.asax file. If there is a timeout set in there it will override the web.config setting — bilpor

There are 3 ways session timeout can be set:

You can increase the time out value in minutes using the timeout attribute of sessionState element in web.config.
You can set it in code

Session["UserId"] = 1234;
Session.Timeout = 60;
If you are using forms authentication, check the authentication time out value as well.

You have already checked and applied the first item. You can search for Session.Timeout in your solution or if you are using forms authentication check for it's timeout variable.
