How can I avoid timeout errors while debugging a web service in visual studio 2008

Question

I am using a console application to call web service methods and I am stepping through the code using the debugger in vs2008.

Sometimes I need to stop and think about things, and compare values. Not talking hours, just a few minutes, at this point the web service times out, how can I avoid this, so that the web service does not time out at all.

Thank you

Ok, now a serious answer, found at:

http://bytes.com/groups/net-web-services/628561-increase-default-webservice-timeout-globally

[1]Increase the Timeout property of the Web service proxy. MyWebServ obj = new MyWebServ(); obj.Timeout = -1; // -1 for forever otherwise in milliseconds

[2] Increase timeout value in http-runtime tag in web-config of ASP.NET project./app.config if it web consumer application is windows

[3] Increase timeout value in http-runtime tag in web-config of Web Services project.

You can turn the timeout off by stopping the application pool from recycling:

In the IIS console, go to the app pool properties and set "Ping Enabled" to false
