Increasing the timeout value in a WCF service

Question

How do I increase the default timeout to larger than 1 minute on a WCF service

User · Answer

Under the Tools menu in Visual Studio 2008 (or 2005 if you have the right WCF stuff installed) there is an options called 'WCF Service Configuration Editor'.

From there you can change the binding options for both the client and the services, one of these options will be for time-outs.

In addition to the binding timeouts  which are in Timespans   You may also need this as well  This is in seconds    lt system web gt       lt httpRuntime executionTimeout  600   gt  lt  --   10 minutes -- gt

Different timeouts mean different things  When you re working on the client   you re probably looking mostly at the SendTimeout - check this reference - wonderful and relevant explanation  http   social msdn microsoft com Forums en-US wcf thread 84551e45-19a2-4d0d-bcc0-516a4041943d  It says  Brief summary of binding timeout knobs     Client side   SendTimeout is used to initialize the OperationTimeout  which governs the whole interaction for sending a message  including receiving a reply message in a request-reply case    This timeout also applies when sending reply messages from a CallbackContract method  OpenTimeout and CloseTimeout are used when opening and closing channels  when no explicit timeout value is passed   ReceiveTimeout is not used   Server side   Send  Open  and Close Timeout same as on client  for Callbacks   ReceiveTimeout is used by ServiceFramework layer to initialize the session-idle timeout

Are you referring to the server side or the client side   For a client  you would want to adjust the sendTimeout attribute of a binding element  For a service  you would want to adjust the receiveTimeout attribute of a binding elemnent    lt system serviceModel gt     lt bindings gt       lt netTcpBinding gt         lt binding name  longTimeoutBinding          receiveTimeout  00 10 00  sendTimeout  00 10 00  gt           lt security mode  None   gt         lt  binding gt       lt  netTcpBinding gt     lt  bindings gt      lt services gt       lt service name  longTimeoutService        behaviorConfiguration  longTimeoutBehavior  gt         lt endpoint address  net tcp   localhost longtimeout           binding  netTcpBinding  bindingConfiguration  longTimeoutBinding    gt       lt  service gt         Of course  you have to map your desired endpoint to that particular binding
