How can I set the receiveTimeout and sendTimeout to infinity with this WCF contact?
Use infinite
for the various timeout values - close, open, receive, and send. You specify these timeouts in a binding configuration like so.
<bindings>
<netNamedPipeBinding>
<binding name="mybinding" closeTimeout="infinite" openTimeout="infinite"
receiveTimeout="infinite" sendTimeout="infinite" />
</netNamedPipeBinding>
</bindings>
The bindings
section goes at the same level as the services
and behaviors
sections. The only thing left is to reference the binding configuration in your service endpoint.
<services>
<service name="DCC_Service.DCCService" behaviorConfiguration="serviceBehavior">
<endpoint binding="netNamedPipeBinding"
contract="DCC_Service.IDCCService"
address="DCCService"
bindingConfiguration="mybinding"/> <!-- SEE THIS LINE -->
<endpoint binding="mexNamedPipeBinding"
contract="IMetadataExchange"
address="mex" />
<host>
<baseAddresses>
<add baseAddress="net.pipe://localhost/"/>
</baseAddresses>
</host>
</service>
</services>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="serviceBehavior">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="false"/>
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
I don't remember specifically (and I don't have time to look right now), but you may have to put this stuff in your client configuration as well.
Set it as max timespan which is 10675199.02:48:05.4775807
sendTimeout="10675199.02:48:05.4775807"
You can also give maximum time out like below
{
binding.CloseTimeout = TimeSpan.MaxValue;
binding.OpenTimeout = TimeSpan.MaxValue;
binding.ReceiveTimeout = TimeSpan.MaxValue;
binding.SendTimeout = TimeSpan.MaxValue;
}
