Web service timeouts

[gilles27]

I'm having a problem with calls to a web service that time out
intermittently. When the problem occurs the exception is put in the
event log with a message of

InvalidOperationException: Client found response content type of
'text/html; charset=utf-8', but expected 'text/xml'.

The details in the event log suggest that an HttpException occurred
with a message of "Request timed out.", which caused the subsequent
InvalidOperationException.

I've noticed that each time this occurs there is a Warning in the event
log immediately beforehand, with a source of ASP.NET 2.0.50727.0 and
details of

Event code: 3001
Event message: The request has been aborted.
Event time: 04/05/2006 08:35:32
Event time (UTC): 04/05/2006 07:35:32
Event ID: c2aa453077be4a4682a5d5d1020718c4
Event sequence: 845
Event occurrence: 2
Event detail code: 0

A timeout is mentioned later on.

My question is, have I done anything wrong with my web service or is it
simply a case of the request timing out? Is this the usual way that Web
Services behave when a timeout occurs? If so is it possible to increase
the timeout?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Please use the time out property on the client who is calling the web service.
This happens when you experience timeout on calling a web service.
Besides, Check why it is longer to execute to eliminate coding flaws.
Hope this helps
