Allotted timeout while logging System.Net on Trace level

Question

I'm having an issue with my program. I've created a service which is logging its actions with NLOG. Next to this service I've created a tool to catch this logging and show it to the user. This connection is based on WSDualHTTPBinding.

Besides the actions of the service, I'm also logging [System.Net], [System.ServiceModel] and [System.Windows] for a complete log report.

Now I'm getting the TimeOutException: The message could not be transferred within the allotted timeout of 00:01:00. There was nog space available in the reliable channel's transfer window. etc...

I've found out that this exception is thrown when the LogLevel for the System.Net.* is set to Trace. Otherwise the exception won't be thrown.

I've tried multiple solutions like increasing the Timeout; setting the DefaultConnectionLimit; setting the ServiceBehaviorAttribute and many more. None of them worked for me...

Could somebody help me with this?

Answer 1

The issue is an infinity loop. This is created by the System.Net class because when I'm calling my Callback function the System.Net namespace is tracing my call to the next server with the http message. This is logged and sent to the logger, etc, etc, etc...
