Service – WCF Service Host – Windows Service Client – ASP.Net Web application I

Service – WCF Service
Host – Windows Service
Client – ASP.Net Web application

I saw following settings in .config file of client (web application) – 

closeTimeout="00:01:00" openTimeout="00:01:00" receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:01:00"

Can anyone please confirm my undersanding for these Timeout configurations –

   closeTimeout="00:01:00"

  • An error will be thrown by client app if client sends a ‘close’ request and service takes longer than 1 minute to close gracefully.

    openTimeout="00:01:00"

  • An error will be thrown by client app if client send an ‘open’ request and service takes longer than 1 minute to open.

    receiveTimeout="00:10:00"

  • An error will be thrown by client app if service sends a response and it takes longer than 10 minutes for the client to receive the entire response.

    sendTimeout="00:01:00"

  • An error will be thrown by client app if client attempts to send a request and it takes longer than 1 minute for the client to transmit that request to service.

Please guide.

    I can almost confirm your analysis, except for the receiveTimeout. I think it should be stated as:

    • An error will be thrown by the client app if the service is not able to send a response within 10 minutes after the client has performed a successful request for information.

    To my knowledge, this is also the reason why, by default, this time is set to 10 minutes instead of 1 minute like for the other timeouts.
