How do I set the web service timeout in vb.net?

The web.config file for the service can have a <httpRuntime/element, which
includes an executionTimeout attribute. The httpRuntime element goes in the
<system.webelement. See this link:

This link references asp.net. I am not using asp.net. I am accessing a web
service in a windows console program and it keeps timing out. I have read
that the default is 100 seconds. I want to increase this. What is the syntax
that I should use in my program to do this?

A webservice = aspnet.

If you want to do this in a windows form, than don't talk about a webservice
timeout.
Steve gave you a very nice answer, on something that you were not asking.

Your question is to unclear to give a full answer, however probably you can
let your thread sleep a while.

Right, I have tried typing something like:

AmiClmSvc_Proxy.timeout = 5*60*1000

When I do this, there are no intellisense options and when I am done
it gives me a syntax error: "Declaration expected"

I don't know what is up. I would not like to use a web service instance that had
no properties.

Maybe that should be
Dim AmiClmSvc_Proxy As New AmiClmSvc_WebService

If you don't have intellisense showing anything, how does it even make a call?

In the previous post you say:

Maybe that should be
Dim AmiClmSvc_Proxy As New AmiClmSvc_WebService

When I try this I get a syntax error on AmiClmSvc_WebService that tells me
"Type Expected"

What else do you suggest?

I don't really know. If you aren't getting intellisense on your proxy object, I
don't see how you can do anything with it. Does it have any properties or
methods, when you dim it the original way, As New AmiClmSvc_WebService.AmiClmSvc
?

I was finally able to resolve this issue, though I do not fully understand
why. When I originally coded as you suggested:

AmiClmSvc_Proxy.Timeout = 60 * 60 * 1000 '60 minutes

I got the errors that I described where I was not getting intellisense and
syntax error: "Declaration expected". I was coding this statement at the
Module level directly under the dim statement where I defined the
AmiClmSvc_Proxy in the first place. I was finally able to resolve the issue
when I coded the above statement within a SUB within the module. Suddenly the
intellisense started working and the timeout was changed. I don't understand
why the statement would work in one place and not the other, but it does.
Perhaps you can explain why? In any event, it is working and I thank you for
your help.

Cor,

Please go back to school before you start offending other posters like Bob. I have no idea how you got your MVP or in what area your MVP is in, but I can tell it's not in .NET. "A webservice = aspnet" is an absurd statement. .NET Web services can be accessed from anywhere with anything and on any platform as long as that anything runs .NET. You can even call a web service from managed SQL since SQL 2005 came out, and you could call Web services from Windows Application since the beginning of .NET.

Bob, your question was 100% valid. To set timeout on a web service, first instantiate that web service. Let's say you called your web service MyFunkyService when you added Web Reference to it to your project. Then you'd instantiate it like this:

Dim myServiceInstance as New MyFunkyService.MyFunkyService

"MyFunkyService" repeats twice because by default when you add a web service, a proxy class is created and placed in the same namespace as class itself, so the first "MyFunkyService" refers to the namespace while the second one - to class name.

To set timeout to, say, 360 seconds, write:

myServiceInstance.Timeout = 360000 'in milliseconds

I think you're right that default is at 100 seconds or 100000 milliseconds.
