Increasing timeout of ASMX webservices - c#

I am running an ASMX webservice on IIS 7. The client is a silverlight application. I am issuing several asynchronous file requests to the webservice and processing them on AsyncCompleted. Sometime after all the async requests have been issued, I get the following timeout message. How can the timeout be increased.
I tried adding the following in the web.config of the ASP.NET project that is hosting my silverlight application.
<httpRuntime executionTimeout="12000"/>
(This timeout is not happening when I do the requests synchronously, but synchronous operations are very slow.)
The HTTP request to 'http://localhost:5080/Service1.asmx' has exceeded the
allotted timeout.

See these sources:
Timeout error in WCF
Silverlight Timeout Issues from WCF… exceeded the allotted timeout.

Because this is the silverlight application i am in a doubt if my suggestion will work.
Just try, to create the object of the webservice and then increase the time out value to what ever seconds you want.
Below code may be helpful
ConsoleApplicationFor2Groups.AdServices.ADService adser = new ADService();
adser.Timeout = 100000; // this time is in milliseconds
Just let me know if this works.

How do IIS understand or know my timeout duration?

I have a asp.net web api where is host on IIS and I use restsharp for request operations. I also added a timeout for requests. So far everything is normal.
When i did a load test to my api, some requests queued on IIS, I saw these requests at worker process screen on IIS. How can i kill these processes automatically or how do IIS understand or know my timeout duration ? I have a timeout whereas it doesn' t work.
IRestClient _client = new RestClient(url) { Timeout = timeout};

wcf service long httpwebrequest wait causes queuing of subsequent requests

I have a WCF service that in functionA makes an HttpWebRequest call to functionX in an external service. Originally the timeout on this httpwebrequest was set to 5 minutes.
Recently, the external service has been taking longer than 5 minutes to respond (which I am ok with). So I bumped the httpWebRequest.timeout up to 10 minutes.
Meanwhile the wcf service should be able to process other incoming requests (to functionB, functionC, etc). What I'm experiencing now is that if functionX takes longer than ~5 minutes to respond (and thus functionA takes longer than 5 minutes to complete), subsequent requests to functionB in my wcf service are queued / do not process until functionA completes.
In the end everything completes properly, but I don't see why functionB is affected by the waiting that is happening over in functionA.
Forgive me if that is hard to follow. It is a strange and I'm having trouble wrapping my head around how these pieces are related.
You must decorate your WCF Service class with following attribute
[ServiceBehavior(ConcurrencyMode = ConcurrencyMode.Multiple)] // The service instance is multi-threaded.
public class Service1
{
// ...
}
I assume your concurrency mode is set to Single defined as follows by Microsoft.
"The service instance is single-threaded and does not accept reentrant calls.
If the System.ServiceModel.ServiceBehaviorAttribute.InstanceContextMode property is System.ServiceModel.InstanceContextMode.Single, and additional messages arrive while the instance services a call, these messages must wait until the service is available or until the messages time out."
i had a same problem. i hosted my service in IIS. after little search i found out its because of maxconnection limit in web config. i added this line in to my web.config and the problem solved:
<system.net>
<connectionManagement>
<add address="*" maxconnection="1000"/>
</connectionManagement>
</system.net>
by default maxconnection value is 2.
but this is one of the many reasons. you should monitor your server requests in order to find out the exact reason.

Web service concurrent calls processing

I've faced with the next issue related to web service request processing:
Preamble
I have
Web api service hosted on IIS 7.0 on local machine
Test harness console application on the same machine
and i'm trying to simulate web service load by hitting one with requests generated via test harness app.
Test harness core code:
static int HitsCount = 40;
static async void PerformHitting()
{
{
await Task.WhenAll(ParallelEnumerable.Range(0, HitsCount)
.Select(_ => HitAsync())
.WithDegreeOfParallelism(HitsCount));
}
}
static async Task HitAsync()
{
// some logging skipped here
...
await new HttpClient().GetAsync(TargetUrl, HttpCompletionOption.ResponseHeadersRead);
}
Expectation
Logging shows that all HitAsync() calls are made simultaneously: each hit via HttpClients had started in
[0s; 0.1s] time frame (timings are roughly rounded here and below). Hence, I'm expecting to catch all these requests in approximately the same time frame on web service side.
Reality
But logging on the service side shows that requests grouped in bunches 8-12 request each and service catches these bunches with ~1 second interval. I mean:
[0s, 0.3s] <- requests #0-#10
[1.2s, 1.6s] <- requests #10-#20
...
[4.1s, 4.5s] <- request #30-#40
And i'm getting really long execution time for any significant HitCount values.
Question
I suspect some kind of built-in service throttling mechanism or framework built-in concurrent connections limitation. Only I found related to such guesstimate is that, but i didn't get any success trying soulutions from there.
Any ideas what is the issue?
Thanks.
By default, HTTP requests on ASP.NET are limited to 12 times the number of cores. I recommend setting ServicePointManager.DefaultConnectionLimit to int.MaxValue.
Well, the root of the problems lies in the IIS + Windows 7 concurrent requests handling limit (some info about such limits here. Moving service out to the machine with Windows Server kicked out the problem.

An HTTP Content-Type header is required for SOAP messaging and none was found

maybe you could help me. i am trying to use wcf to transfer a string between client and server. most of the time it is working. but at some clients (one on particular) i received the following error "An HTTP Content-Type header is required for SOAP messaging and none was found".
1. is this an error that returns from the server side ?
2. how can this be fixed ?
Thanks in advance

I recently had this issue.
It turned out it is caused by the Azure web app load balancer time out
https://feedback.azure.com/forums/169385-web-apps/suggestions/36572656-make-web-app-timeout-of-230-seconds-configurable
Because the server took longer than 230 seconds to process the request, so before the web service return the response, the load balaner will timeout and cut the TCP connection caused the ticket client receve a ProtocolException with the message:
An HTTP Content-Type header is required for SOAP messaging and none was found.
Since we can not control or configure that timeout settings, eventually I have to modify the service to make the process shorter than 230 seconds.
I've fixed this problem. I've increased WCF service server CloseTimeout Binding property to 5 minutes from default 1. It's server side problem.

The request timed out before the page could be retrieved. asp.net web application long server processing

i have a web application which which proccesses some request on some data that client selects, when the client selects more than 20 objects and clicks on proceed the client recieves this error, because the server takes a long time to process, however if the records are less and hence a timely response is recieved, no such error comes can someone help me on this?
i have increased the sessiontimeout as well as set the
Try adjusting the executionTimeout in your web.config...this only applies if debug is set to false however.
<httpRuntime
executionTimeout="some number"
/>
If this alone does not solve your issue, check out this blog post which goes into a bit more depth on how to structure your timeouts. Note the IIS reference towards the bottom...
