Increasing timeout WCF calling ASMX

Question

I have a WCF service which consumes an asmx web service. Calls to the web service sometimes timeout. How do I increase the timeout value, ideally in the webconfig.

Thanks

Answer 1

You should be able to adjust the execution timeout within your web.config.

HttpRuntimeSection.ExecutionTimeout

The ExecutionTimeout property indicates the maximum number of seconds a request is allowed to execute before being automatically shut down by ASP.NET. The default is 110 seconds. This time-out applies only if the debug attribute in the element is set to false.

<configuration>
    <system.web>
      <compilation debug="false" targetFramework="4.5" />
      <httpRuntime targetFramework="4.5" executionTimeout="60"/>
    </system.web>
</configuration>

You should try this in your Web.config inside...

1) <system.web>

<httpRuntime targetFramework="4.5.2" maxRequestLength="4194304" maxQueryStringLength="2048" executionTimeout="360" />

2) <basicHttpBinding>

<binding name="uploadFilesBasicHttpBinding" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" maxBufferSize="2147483647" maxBufferPoolSize="2147483647" receiveTimeout="00:10:10" sendTimeout="00:10:00" openTimeout="00:10:00" closeTimeout="00:10:00">
