Silverlight Async Timeout Error

Question

Calling through to my Silverlight Enabled WCF-Service in my silverlight application, occasionally users get timeouts. Whats the easiest way to boost the time allowed by the service client for a response?

The exact exception thrown is: System.TimeoutException: [HttpRequestTimedOutWithoutDetail]

Thanks

Answer 1

• Ammount of time connection can be open: BasicHttpBinding.OpenTimeout property
• Time that a connection can remain inactive, during which no application messages are received, before it is dropped: BasicHttpBinding.ReceiveTimout property

This can be set in the node of the ServiceReference.ClientConfig file in the silverlight app.
