how to set timeout?

Hi, this is a follow-up to my previous post. I've got a long-running function exposed as a web service. It can take up to 3 or 4 minutes to complete
(rendering a 300 page pdf from xsl-fo). I have the asp script timeout for the web app the service runs as set to 600 seconds. I have the timeout for the
webservice on the consuming end set to the same. I still get a timeout error, however. The response that comes from the webservice is an asp error page
saying "Request Timed Out". I do NOT get this error when the project is
compiled with debugging. Is there some timeout setting that I'm missing? Can anyone offer any pointers?

Thanks

There are two places you may have to change:

1. Change the ASP.NET timeout, not ASP one:

This is the most likely culprit of your errors

2. Use the Timeout property of your proxy class to set the proper time on
the client.

WebReference.ProxyClass myProxy = new WebReference.ProxyClass();
// Set the timeout in milliseconds -- e.g. 100 seconds
myProxy.Timeout = 100000;

Hope that helps.
