App-pool Idle Time-out is the amount of time (in minutes) a worker process will remain idle before it shuts down. A worker process is idle if it is not processing requests and no new requests are received.

Idle Time-out property can be changed in IIS after you RDP into the VM's of Azure, but this is not recommended and remote desktop must be used only for basic troubleshooting. Any changes done on the Virtual Machine manually after RDP will not be persisted.This is because, in the event of any hardware failure or automatic OS upgrade in Azure cloud, Fabric controller will bring down the VM instance and automatically deploy your package on another VM/on the same VM (Virtual machine). If this happens all the changes done manually on the VM will be lost. Therefore the recommended approach is to perform all the operation by code and deploy the package.

You can implement this by using ServerManager class defined in Microsoft.Web.Administration DLL.

You can find more code samples that demonstrate the most typical programming scenarios by using Microsoft All-In-One Code Framework Sample Browser or Sample Browser Visual Studio extension. They give you the flexibility to search samples, download samples on demand, manage the downloaded samples in a centralized place, and automatically be notified about sample updates. If it is the first time that you hear about Microsoft All-In-One Code Framework, please watch the introduction video on Microsoft Showcase, or read the introduction on our homepage https://1code.codeplex.com/.
