Hi,

Can anyone please tell me how to increase WebFocus webservice timeouts?

I'm not sure if it is a solution for your problem, but I recently had a WebFocus program that timed out after 1 minute. The problem was Internet Explorer. I changed the following in the Windows Registry, rebooted, and it fixed the problem.

=============================

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
Value Name: ReceiveTimeout
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: Time in milliseconds

Default seemed to be 60000 (1 minute) - changed to 180,000 - then reboot

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
Value Name: KeepAliveTimeout
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: Time in milliseconds (default = 120,000)

Where is the Timeout happening.
In your Browser or your application.
What language is your application written in.
Need details.

The timeout is happening at the call to the webservice. Most of the time the service returns data fine, but for a larger set of data it has a tendency to timeout.

The application is written in ASP.NET 2.0.

Your problem is in .NET.
I remember running into this a few years ago.

I think the following code solved my timeout issue.

Dim wfss As New WF.WebFocus
wfss.Timeout = -1

Let me know if this works.
