How to read Session timeout value from web.config using javascript in JS file

Question

Can anyone please guide me to read the value of Session timeout value using javascript contained in a .js file.

I need to access the value in a javascript file and process the value.

I tried to follow the below approach in a test.js file but it is not working:

var sessionTimeout = <%= Session.Timeout %>;
alert(sessionTimeout);

Answer 1

Your problem is that .JS files are not executed so they do not contain the Session.Timeout variable.

You can do two things:

1. Include your javascript directly in your ASP/ASPX page that does have the code being executed.
2. Register your JS script in your code.

Registering your JS

See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa479011.aspx#aspnet-usingjavascript_topic07

Page.RegisterClientScriptBlock("MyScript", _
   "<script language=javascript src='MyJavaScriptFile.js'>")

Answer 2

I have share m code which I use for connection string from this code you can replace logic for session.

<script language="javascript" type ="text/javascript"> 
function ReadWebConfig()
{
    var strCon = '<%=ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["MysqlCon"].ConnectionString %>'
    alert(strCon);
    var strTemp = '<%=ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["WordTemplate"].ToString() %>'
    alert(strTemp);
}
</script>
