Question

Is there a way in a WCF service to catch a client timeout I need to run some special logic on a client timeout.

I have not found any sources indicating a WCF service can check if a client timeout through service side Error Handling, Etc… if you require more information let me know.

Answer 1

Anything that needs to be cleaned up in your service, should be cleaned up regardless of whether there was a client timeout, a client disconnection, or an exception in the service.

Do your cleanup in the finally block of a try/finally, or, if you clean up by calling the Dispose method of an IDisposable object, then use using blocks.
