Re: Timeout on web service call

Well. After poking around in the docs for awhile, I have something like
this:

t1 = New System.Windows.Forms.Timer
t1.Interval = 5000
AddHandler t1.Tick, AddressOf T1tick
Dim callback As System.AsyncCallback
Dim ar As IAsyncResult
ar = ws.BeginMyCall(MyWSParam, callback, Nothing)
t1.Enabled = True
ar.AsyncWaitHandle.WaitOne()
MyWSResult = ws.EndMyCall(ar)

The web service is set to sleep for 20 seconds, but I still don't get a
timer hit. I thought a timer created a thread, but perhaps it is also
getting blocked by WaitOne? Also, I still don't see any result from
setting ws.Timeout.

Any help is greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
DaveO.

Are you calling the method asynchronously (i.e. calling BeginMyMethod and

Hello,

I'm trying to put a time limit on a web service call in case it takes a
long time for whatever reason. First I tried to use a Timer, but got no
response. I can get a Timer to work fine in a simple case, like just
exiting a form, but it seems that when I call a web service the system
is too busy to pay attention.

Then I discovered that the web service itself has a Timeout attribute.
But this also does nothing. I tried making the call both with and
without a try/catch block.

Clearly someone thinks this is a reasonable thing to do. What am I
missing here??

Thanks,
Dave
