WebRequest timeout changed declaratively

[Cedric]

Hi all,

We have some performance issues on a .NET 2.0 app. However we cannot modify
it, we don't have the sources.
Reading the logs, the error is a timeout happening in some Web Service call.

With the sources, it would be easy (?!), would have just changed
WebRequest.Timout to a bigger value, but we don't have sources.

Is there a way to change the default value, which is 100 seconds,
declaratively (in web.config, machine.config... etc.) or even somewhere else
like in the registry? Or is it hard coded in the framework?

I have been struggling on this, but haven't found a lead...

Thanks,

Cédric

Hi Jakob,

Thanks a lot for your answer.
exectutionTimeout will set the time the web server allows for a task to
execute (processed by the w3wp.exe process potentially).
The timeout I would like to set is on the client side. The client calls the
web service and as the answer from the server is too long to come, it comes
to the timeout. This timeout is handled through the WebRequest.Timout or
HttpWebClientProtocol.Timeout.

So it would be this property's default value that I would need to set
without modifying the code...

Any idea?

Thanks,

Cédric
