Is it possible to override a .NET client's default timeout on a call to a webservice?

Question

I'd like the web service proxy class to wait more than 2 minutes

Answer 1

Just set the timeout property on the proxy

Answer 2

Two things to think about - yes, TheSoftwareJedi is correct about setting the Timeout property on the proxy - easy enough. The default value for that is 100s.

You also have to realize that IIS will have a timeout setting as well and it will override the c# setting if its reached. The IIS default is 120s.

So, setting the timeout property on the proxy will get you an additional 20s before you start hitting the IIS timeout.
