Timeout error on webservice client

[Sebitti]

I'm getting timeout error in my client application (asp.net client) when I
call a web service that is taking some time (2 - 3 minutes).
How can I configure the timeout limit?
Current configuration, these settings doesn't seem to have any affect:
Web.config <sessionState timeout="20"/>
IIS 5 configuration, ASP Script timeout = 6000 seconds.

Greetings Sebitti,

You can adjust the HTTP timeout, which is set to a default of 90
seconds in the machine.config file, by modifying the following
attribute in the web/machine.config file:

<system.web>
<httpRuntime executionTimeout="90" />
</system.web>

If you are invoking an operation that consistently exceeds the default
timeout, a better solution may be to invoke the web methods
asynchronously, rather than increasing the timeout for all requests.
Note that there are trade-offs in increasing the http timeout, as
system resources will be consumed longer by individual requests, thus
decreasing the scalability of your application.

HTH.

Cheers,
Matt
