Question

So I am stepping through my code and now I run the project again to move onto another breakpoint. However my project doesn’t move on instead it crashes saying that I have exceeding the timeout limit for a webservice.

How can I increase the timeout limit for web services so I stop getting these exceptions?

Answer 1

You need to specify openTimeout, sendTimeout, receiveTimeout and closeTimeout attributes of <binding> element in your Web.config and ServiceReferences.ClientConfig files.

For example:

<binding name="..." ... openTimeout="01:00:00" sendTimeout="01:00:00" receiveTimeout="01:00:00" closeTimeout="01:00:00">
    <security mode="Transport" />
</binding>
