Hi,

I'm a tad confused regarding the difference between an asp.net session and
an authentication session and their timeouts. Do the two types of session
exist independantly of one another? If so, what happens if one expires
before the other? Any info appreciated. PS. Using asp.net v2

Yes, they are separate animals and they exist independently of one another.
If Session times out and Forms Auth doesn't, you are still authenticated but
your Session is gone. And, vice-versa.
Hope that helps.
