Machine.Config Schema Doubt!!

[Vai2000]

What's the use of executionTimeOut on httpRunTime element in the
machine.config? How is it related to sessionTimeOut or Timeout on the proxy
for a webService? In other words we can set Timeout property on Proxy
generated by adding a web svc to an ASPX Application, does that override the
executionTimeout Property?

TIA

Hi Vai:

executionTimeOut specifies the number of seconds the ASP.NET runtime
will allow for a single request to execute. This is a server side
setting.

The timeout on a proxy class would be a client setting - it's how long
your code is willing to wait for a single request to return. You can't
override the server side setting with the client setting.
