Question

I am using web references in my app but I am getting following exception.

I have used bellow code.

obj is my web reference object. It does not take obj directly that is why I have used variable for that. But still it’s not working, it takes me automatically to previous activity.

var url=obj.ToString();
            // Create a new WebRequest Object to the mentioned URL.
            WebRequest myWebRequest=WebRequest.Create(url);
            Console.WriteLine("\nThe Timeout time of the request before setting is : {0} milliseconds",myWebRequest.Timeout);

            // Set the 'Timeout' property in Milliseconds.
            myWebRequest.Timeout=10000;

            // This request will throw a WebException if it reaches the timeout limit before it is able to fetch the resource.
            WebResponse myWebResponse=myWebRequest.GetResponse();

Unhandled Exception: System.Net.WebException: The request timed out

Answer 1

It hit your timeout, meaning it did not get a response from the URL it called in time.

Check the URL in a browser. Check if it returns anything and how long it takes.

Make sure you don’t need to configure a proxy.
