When running a webservice I'm having a problem with timeouts....

[jcash35010]

I am builing a XML file with information to send to the user and it is timing out due to time taking to build the file with an extremely large dataset. The problem is that it is timing out with the firewall after about 10 minutes. I was looking into returning a smaller file in intervals and then keep processing, but it doesn't look possible. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am not really familiar with webservices, and the person who wrote is no longer here.

Thanks!

I'm no expert at ASP.NET and certainly not at Web Services, but have you tried setting the TimeOut property on your Proxy Class?

e.g -- MyProxy.TimeOut = 60000 (1 min timeout)

10 minutes is a very long time for a web service to be responding to a request. Is there some way to start sending the XML before you completely finish creating it?

Otherwise, I would look at finding a way to require the users to request a smaller set of results.
