I have an ASP.NET MVC 3 (Razor) Application and I am faced with frequent session timeouts.
Is there a way to increase the value of the session?

You're not providing enough details, such as your configuration, description of the problem etc.

What's happening more exactly? This article may help: Random Session Timeout in ASP.NET MVC3
If not, you could use a configuration like this in your web.config file :

<configuration>
  ...
  <system.web>
    <sessionState mode="InProc" timeout="30" />
  </system.web>
  ...
</configuration>

Here the session timeout is being set to 30 minutes, for example.

In web.config:

<sessionState mode="InProc" timeout="20"/>

You have to change the value of timeout attribute.
