Webservices: Timeout and storing values Q

[Ivan Demkovitch]

Hi!

I have 2 questions:

1. Is there any way to set timeout value when I call web service?

2. Is there any way to store web service response as a string so I can later
use a string as response again.
I want to store response in DB and load same objects again as needed.

P.S. I use wsdl generated proxy classes.

TIA!

Ivan,
Here is some info from Visual Studio docs. However, be aware that an XML Web
service is accessed through the RemotingClientProxy class objects. This
means that the Timeout property shown below is found in the
RemotingClientProxy class. Reading the docs on this says this Timeout value
is only for synchrounous calls.


When you are stepping into an XML Web service from calling code, the call
may sometimes time out, with the result being that you cannot continue
debugging. You may see an error message such as this.

An unhandled exception of type 'System.Net.WebException' occurred in
system.Web.services.dll
Additional information: The operation has timed-out.Solution
To avoid this problem, set the timeout value for the XML Web service call to
infinite, as shown in this example:

Service1 obj = new Service1();
obj.Timeout = -1; // infinite time out.

Regards,
Gery
