WCF Timeout Exception! An exception of type 'System.TimeoutException' occurred in mscorlib.dll

Question

I'm consuming a wcf service in asp.net web application the functions in wcf service sometimes takes more than 1 minute to respond in which case the exception is thrown. i'm not sure on how to increase this request timeout, i tried on the wcf config file but doesn't work do i have to do it on my webapplication side too? if so, how? please help!

exception detail: Additional information: The request channel timed out while waiting for a reply after 00:00:59.8689077. Increase the timeout value passed to the call to Request or increase the SendTimeout value on the Binding. The time allotted to this operation may have been a portion of a longer timeout.

Answer 1

try setting the Time out in your asp.net web config as well

this is an example from one of my consumers, its using streamed data so the timeout is vital

<system.serviceModel>
  <bindings>
        <basicHttpBinding>
            <binding name="BasicHttpBinding_IStreamed" transferMode="Streamed" messageEncoding="Mtom"  maxReceivedMessageSize="67108864" maxBufferSize="65536"
              closeTimeout="00:01:00" openTimeout="00:01:00"
              receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:01:00"/>
        </basicHttpBinding>
    </bindings>
    <client>
        <endpoint address="http://localhost:#####/streamed.svc" binding="basicHttpBinding"
            bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IStreamed"
            contract="SyncSVC.IStreamed" name="BasicHttpBinding_IStreamed" />
    </client>
</system.serviceModel>
