RIA services WCF timeout

Question

Hi All,

I have an application which is written in silverlight 3.0. It uses RIA services to communicate between the client and server.

My question doesn't seem to be answered very well on the web. The client communicates to the server using RIA services, which uses WCF behind the scenes. If the communication takes more than 60 seconds it times out with this message,

'Load operation failed for query 'ApplyUpgrade'. The HTTP requrest to 'http://localhost:52403/ClientBin/DatabaseUpgradeTool-Web-UpgradePackageDomainService.svc/binary' has exceeded the allotted timeout. The time allotted to this operation may have been a portion of a longer timeout.'

My server is performing a database upgrade, so it is valid for it to take more than 60 seconds. Probably double or triple that.

I tried settings like this in the web.config,

<services>
    <service name="DatabaseUpgradeTool.Web.UpgradePackageDomainService">
      <endpoint address="" binding="wsHttpBinding" contract="DatabaseUpgradeTool.Web.UpgradePackageDomainService"></endpoint>
      <endpoint address="/soap" binding="basicHttpBinding" contract="DatabaseUpgradeTool.Web.UpgradePackageDomainService"></endpoint>
      <endpoint address="/binary" binding="customBinding" bindingConfiguration="BinaryHttpBinding" contract="DatabaseUpgradeTool.Web.UpgradePackageDomainService"></endpoint>
    </service>
  </services>
<bindings>
    <customBinding>
      <binding name="BinaryHttpBinding"
               receiveTimeout="00:00:10"
               sendTimeout="00:00:10" 
               openTimeout="00:00:10" 
               closeTimeout="00:00:10">
        <binaryMessageEncoding   />
        <httpTransport keepAliveEnabled="true"/>
      </binding>
    </customBinding>
  </bindings>

Still no joy. Any ideas as to what is wrong with what I have tried above? I would expect the above to cause it to timeout within 10 seconds, not 60.

Thanks.

Not sure if this will help, I haven't tried it with time outs configurations, but it might point you in the right direction: http://blogs.objectsharp.com/CS/blogs/dan/archive/2010/04/13/maxitemsinobjectgraph-wcf-ria-services-exception.aspx
