Setting web service timeout in vb.net

The web.config file for the service can have a <httpRuntime/> element, which
includes an executionTimeout attribute. The httpRuntime element goes in the
<system.web> element. See this link:

Ah, you mean your client app is timing out on its call to a web service.
If have an class based on WebClientProtocol, the base class for XML Web
Services, such as
Dim WebServe As TheWebService
Then it will have a timeout property:
WebServe.Timeout = 100000 ' 100 secs.

A webservice = aspnet.
If you want to do this in a windows form, than don't talk about a webservice
timeout.
Steve gave you a very nice answer, on something that you were not asking.
Your question is to unclear to give a full answer, however probably you can
let your thread sleep a while.

about web services and it is sometimes hard for me to formulate questions
correctly. Please allow me to elaborate more: I have a vb.net windows console
program running on my pc that is serving as a client to pull down information
from a web service on a server. To do this I first added a Web reference (in
Solution Explorer) which I called AmiClmSvc_WebService (setting the Web
Reference URL property to point to the WSDL on my server with the web
service). Then in my code I have:
Dim AmiClmSvc_Proxy As New AmiClmSvc_WebService.AmiClmSvc
Then later I have:
Dim AmiClaimSummary_Result As Object
AmiClaimSummary_Result =
AmiClmSvc_Proxy.AmiClaimSummary(SelectDate.ToString, SelectDate.ToString)
On this last step I am getting a timeout after 100 seconds, which I have
read is the default setting. I need to change the timeout value to something
higher than that, but do not know what syntax I need to use in order to do
that.
Can anyone help me with this?

Are you saying that AmiClmSvc_Proxy does not have a Timeout property?
Connolly@newsgroup.nospam Bob Connolly
AmiClmSvc_Proxy.timeout = 5*60*1000
When I do this, there are no intellisense options and when I am done it
gives me a syntax error: "Declaration expected"
What syntax do I need to use to set the timeout?

I put this statement? How will this increase the timeout period? Please keep

I don't know what is up. I would not like to use a web service instance that had
no properties.
Maybe that should be
Dim AmiClmSvc_Proxy As New AmiClmSvc_WebService
If you don't have intellisense showing anything, how does it even make a call?
Steven Cheng [MSFT]
As for the ASP.NET webservice, it has a "executionTimeout" setting at
server-side which control the timeout behavior of the server-side
webservice request(also ASP.NET page request), default value is 110 secs:
#httpRuntime Element (ASP.NET Settings Schema)
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/e1f13641.aspx
Also, for .NET webservice client, the generated proxy (derived from
SoapHttpClientProtocol class) also has a timeout property(default value 90
secs). The following thread has mentioned both of them:
#Timeout value at the client proxy
http://bytes.com/forum/thread427729.html
You can try setting them to see whehter it helps.

Maybe that should be
Dim AmiClmSvc_Proxy As New AmiClmSvc_WebService
When I try this I get a syntax error on AmiClmSvc_WebService that tells me
"Type Expected"
What else do you suggest?

webservice's method call Timeout through the SoapHttpClientProtocol.Timeout
property"
How do I do this? It gives no specific directions and I could not find a
place where I could set this property. If I just put a line in my program
that says:
SoapHttpClientProtocol.Timeout = 100000
It give me a syntax error: "Declaration Expected"

Thanks for your reply.
Sorry for haven't clarified it. The "SoapHttpClientProtocol" is the base
class of the webservice proxy (you generate through "Add WebReference" or
wsdl.exe). Therefore, you can directly set this "Timeout" property on the
client-side proxy. For example:
================
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MyService.WebService myservice = new MyService.WebService();
myservice.Timeout = 1000 * 120;
string result = myservice.HelloWorld();
}
=================
also, you can manually open the auto-geneated proxy's code and found out
that your webservice proxy class is derived from "SoapHttpClientProtocol":
============
[System.ComponentModel.DesignerCategoryAttribute("code")]
[System.Web.Services.WebServiceBindingAttribute(Name="WebServiceSoap",
Namespace="http://tempuri.org/")]
public partial class WebService :
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol {
private System.Threading.SendOrPostCallback
HelloWorldOperationCompleted;

If there is still anything unclear, welcome to post here.

I don't really know. If you aren't getting intellisense on your proxy object, I
don't see how you can do anything with it. Does it have any properties or
methods, when you dim it the original way, As New AmiClmSvc_WebService.AmiClmSvc
?
Connolly@newsgroup.nospam Bob Connolly
why. When I originally coded as you suggested:
AmiClmSvc_Proxy.Timeout = 60 * 60 * 1000 '60 minutes
I got the errors that I described where I was not getting intellisense and
syntax error: "Declaration expected". I was coding this statement at the
Module level directly under the dim statement where I defined the
AmiClmSvc_Proxy in the first place. I was finally able to resolve the issue
when I coded the above statement within a SUB within the module. Suddenly the
intellisense started working and the timeout was changed. I don't understand
why the statement would work in one place and not the other, but it does.
Perhaps you can explain why? In any event, it is working and I thank you for
your help.

If it is not in a method, it is not executable code. The assignment above is
something that has to happen at runtime, not something that can be set at
compile time.
Glad you figured it out. Be aware that there is also a timeout on the other end,
at the web service itself. Your app will now wait for 60 minutes (!), but the
web service is probably set to timeout sooner than that. Time will tell...
Steven Cheng [MSFT]
I'm glad that you've got it working. As for the new question ( the
""Declaration expected" error) you mentioned, here is my understanding:
In your original code, you used the following statement:
AmiClmSvc_Proxy.Timeout = 60 * 60 * 1000 '60 minutes
Is "AmiClmSvc_Proxy" the class/type name of the webservice proxy?
If so, this is because "Timeout" is not a static(shared) property, but a
instance property. Therefore, you need to create/declare and instance of
the proxy type and assign this property through the instance. For example:
dim myproxy as New AmiClmSvc_Proxy
myproxy.Timeout = xxxxx
Hope this help further clarify it.

you for your help!

Please go back to school before you start offending other posters like Bob. I have no idea how you got your MVP or in what area your MVP is in, but I can tell it's not in .NET. "A webservice = aspnet" is an absurd statement. .NET Web services can be accessed from anywhere with anything and on any platform as long as that anything runs .NET. You can even call a web service from managed SQL since SQL 2005 came out, and you could call Web services from Windows Application since the beginning of .NET.
Bob, your question was 100% valid. To set timeout on a web service, first instantiate that web service. Let's say you called your web service MyFunkyService when you added Web Reference to it to your project. Then you'd instantiate it like this:
Dim myServiceInstance as New MyFunkyService.MyFunkyService
"MyFunkyService" repeats twice because by default when you add a web service, a proxy class is created and placed in the same namespace as class itself, so the first "MyFunkyService" refers to the namespace while the second one - to class name.
To set timeout to, say, 360 seconds, write:
myServiceInstance.Timeout = 360000 'in milliseconds
I think you're right that default is at 100 seconds or 100000 milliseconds.
