windows server timeout

[Nicholas Paldino [.NET/C# MVP]]

Ram,

I am not sure which timeout you are referring to? Do you mean the call,
or the download timeout? You don't have to worry about the call timing out
(unless it is a remoted call, possibly).

As for a download timeout, I don't think that the WebClient will give
you the flexibility you need in setting the timeout. You might want to use
the HttpWebRequest and HttpWebResponse classes, as they will allow you to
set timeouts for the download (or eliminate them, I think).

Hope this helps.

Ram,

As long as you are still getting content, I don't see why an exception
would be thrown. If you were waiting, and no content was received, then I
would expect it to be thrown.

Once again, if you need control over this timeout, then I would
recommend using the HttpWebRequest class, where you have more fine-grained
control over this.

Hi,
What I meant is the time that WebClient.Download() takes- I don't care it
takes a lot of time, all I care is that I won't get any exceptions for it
when it does take a long period of time.

Ram.

Hi,
I have a question:
I made a windows service (using VS wizard). All it does is to connect

to
my

site every X seconds and check if there is anything new to download. If
there is- it downloads a big file (using WebClient.Download() ). On MY
computer it doesn't take a ling time, but on other computers it may take
some time (lets say 10 minutes). Is there any chance that after a

while
.net

will raise an exception that the server is not responding or a similar
exception (I remember this from COM...) ?
If I will get an exception, is there anyway to avoid it by increasing the
timeout somehow?
Regards,
Ram.

Ok, thanks very much for the 'super-quick' help!!!!
