Change timeout for each WCF method or call

Question

I have a quite large \"old\" WCF Service with many different methods.

The most of these methods are \"normal\" so they should answer in less than 10 seconds but ther

Answer 1

First of all, the timeout to configure in your case is OperationTimeout, which allows the time limit to wait for the service to reply before timing out. You can modify the operation timeout before making a call from the client side.

To set the OperationTimeout on the channel, you can type case your proxy/channel instance as IContextChannel and set OperationTimeout.

For example:

IClientChannel contextChannel = channel as IClientChannel;
contextChannel.OperationTimeout = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(10);
