The below code will logout the loggedin user when idle for the time specified

Follow the below steps:

1. Declare a variable in web.config file to store the Auto Logout time. (Can use the convenient way to store the time value)

<appSettings>
    <!--  Session Time out value is in minutes and could be changed to any desired value-->
    <add key ="sessionTimeout" value ="10"></add>
</appSettings>

2. In the logon form use the below code

this.Context.HttpContext.Session.Timeout = Convert.ToInt32(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["sessionTimeout"]);

This will logout the user when idle for 10 minutes.
