ASP.NET ExecutionTimeout no effect on IIS-hosted WCF service

I guessed that the ASP.NET ExecutionTimeout would have an effect on my IIS-hosted WCF service, however, it does not.

Is there some magic going on in WCF which disables the ExecutionTimeout?

Solution

  • I've found out that since .NET 3.0 SP1 WCF disables ASP.NET's ExecutionTimeout by setting the timeout to an infinite value. Therefore, only WCF-specific timeouts apply.
