Programmatically set WCF timeout in debug mode

Question

I\'m using WCF in communication between a server and client (both written in C#).

In release-mode, the timouts should be set to ~20 seconds, but in debug mode I want to

You could do the following:

• create the binding and the endpoint in code
• set the timeouts on the binding instance
• then create your client proxy using those two elements

Something like:

BasicHttpBinding myBinding = new BasicHttpBinding("ConfigName");
myBinding.CloseTimeout = .......
myBinding.OpenTimeout = .......
myBinding.ReceiveTimeout = .......
myBinding.SendTimeout = .......

EndpointAddress myEndpoint = new EndpointAddress("http://server:8181/yourservice");

YourServiceClient proxy = new YourServiceClient(myBinding, myEndpoint);

That way, you can leverage the basic config when describing binding timeouts and yet you can tweak the settings you want and create your client proxy from it.
