How do you increase the timeout of a synchronous InvokeServerMethod call?

I've tried creating my own custom ServerProxyEvents class, but it does not seem to be called when calling a remote server method.

Hi jmpinchot,

Here's a sample solution showing you how to set the binding's SendTimeout in a custom ServiceProxyEvents and what happens if the server method call from the client is within or exceeds that timeout.

Hope it helps.

That's what I did initially, and yes the override gets called. I guess I could by default set the TimeSpan to something larger than a minute but that would affect every call. But really what I'm looking for is the ability to set this on a per request basis. I know I can overwrite the values on an EntityQuery however, since this is an InvokeServerMethod call, I'm unsure how to proceed.

Unfortunately, the ability to set the binding's SendTimeout on a per request basis is not available.

I'm assuming the values on EntityQuery that you were referring to is the CommandTimeout. You can't use this timeout for RPC as this is a different timeout for a different purpose.

There are different timeouts in the .NET world.

1. Database timeout - Can be set by using EntityQuery.CommandTimeout

2. Transaction timeout - Can be set by using the TransactionSettings which in turn passed into the QueryStrategy

3. WCF communication timeouts - These are the sendTimeout, receiveTimeout, etc settings in the .config file.

4. and finally IIS timeouts

Here's a section on our DRC that may help you better understand the different timeouts.  http://drc.ideablade.com/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/understand-timeouts - http://drc.ideablade.com/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/understand-timeouts
