I am experiencing a request timeout from IIS when I run a long operation. Behind the scene my ASP.NET application is processing data, but the number of records being processed is great, and thus the operation is taking a long time.
However, I think IIS times out the session. Is this a problem with IIS or ASP.NET session?
I have an ASP.Net application that makes an AJAX request to retrieve at report. The report can run for a long time so I set the asyncpostbacktimeout in <asp:ScriptManager /> to 600. However, when I try to run the report, if it runs for longer than 90 seconds it fails to come back. I can see in the IIS logs that the POST request succeeded with a 200 status and I can see the time taken is much less than 600.
The web page dutifully waits for the entire 600 seconds before returning with a timeout error:
Error:
Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerTimeoutException:
The server request timed out.
Is there any setting I should be checking in IIS? Connection timeout is 900 seconds.
in my case, It is the windows service which in running the long running insert/update on a table and I need to cancel the operation from my ASP.NET application. In the above link Burnsys suggests that one should kill the Sql server session. Is that really only way and a goood practice to do this? Also, in the same poset can use SqlCommand.Cancel to cancel. However, I am not sure how can I cancel the command from the windows service from ASP.NET application.
View 1 RepliesI've developed a web application to accept video file uploads and then pass them to a backend service on an external server. The application runs without error on the visual studio debugging webserver, but once on a production iis 6 or 7 server, yields a timeout error at about a consistent amount of time into handling a large upload. Specifically, it errors in the middle of transferring the video file to the external server, once the application has successfully received it from the client. I'm aware of several timeouts to be configured related to the problem, and have done so. The application's web config has been tested with one or both of the following settings
<system.web>
<httpRuntime executionTimeout="9999999" maxRequestLength="2048000" />
</system.web>
and
<configuration>
<location path="default.aspx"> (the page at issue that's timing out)
<system.web>
<httpRuntime executionTimeout="9999999" maxRequestLength="2048000" />
</system.web>
</location>
</configuration>
And within the initialization of the webrequest made to the external server to send the video received from the client browser:
HttpWebRequest httpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
httpWebRequest.ContentType = "multipart/form-data; boundary=" + boundary;
httpWebRequest.Method = "POST";
httpWebRequest.Timeout = System.Threading.Timeout.Infinite;
So with the execution time limits on both the webform as a whole and the connection made to the external server, I'm at a loss for what timeout is left unconfigured, or how to determine such, when I continue to get the following error: Unexpected error executing Brightcove Upload:...........................
My application is a asp.net 3.5 running on iis 6 (windows 2003)
This application is serving 1000's of users daily (100-500 users online).
I want to send an email newsletter to customers weekly.
Around 200,000 emails every time.
This is the code im using:
ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(new WaitCallback(AsyncProcessMailerQueue), null);
private static void AsyncProcessMailerQueue(object data)[code]....
When testing this locally (on my dev machine) i see the application is working alot slower.
Is there a better way to write this code? Should i use ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem or create a new thread using Thread t = new Thread(new ThreadStart(DoWork)); ? Will it be better to create a totally seperate application for the purpose of sending the newsletters. will that help if ill run this application on the same machine?
i've seen other posts here talking about ThreadPool vs Thread but its seem no one is sure which is better.
When an ASPX page needs to make a call to a potentially long-running operation (lengthy DB query, call to a remote webservice, etc.), I use RegisterAsyncTask, so the IIS worker thread is returned to the pool, rather than being tied up for the duration of the long-running operation. However ASMX webservices don't have a RegisterAsyncTask function. When an ASMX webservice needs to call a potentially long-running operation, how can I implement the same behavior as RegisterAsyncTask? Note: the ASMX webservice is implemented as a script-service: returning json to a direct jQuery/ajax call. Therefore, I cannot use the "BeginXXX" approach described by MSDN, since that implements the asynchronous behavior within the generated client-stub (which isn't used when calling the webservice directly via ajax). EDIT: Adding source code: implemented the BeginXXX/EndXXX approach listed in John's answer. The synchronous "Parrot" function works fine. But the asynchronous "SlowParrot" function gives an internal server error: "Unknown web method SlowParrot"

View 2 RepliesHere are somethings confused me for session timeout. Below are the list of setting:
1) In app web.config, I set sessionstate timeout = 120
2) In IIS6 of web server,
DefaultAppPool, property, Recycle worker processes(in minutes): 15
Web Sites, property, connection timeout: 120 seconds
So, how long is timeout for session?
heavy operation which takes long time to be completed in my asp.net application. I don't want to run the entire operation in one request which may result in a TimeOut error. Instead I want to invoke the operation in a separate thread and poll for the result every x seconds. How can I do this?If the operation gets completed I need to register a script in the ajax postback to hide the loading panel and show the content. However I'm not able to register new scripts and invoke it during ajax postbacks.
View 2 Repliesn my ASP.NET application, I have a sqlclient connectionstring in my web.config file, What is the recommended timeout setting for production environment? Default is 15 seconds.My web farm and database cluster are on the same switch, so there should not be much latency.
View 3 RepliesI am executing a stored procedure that takes about 75 seconds to execute. My page times out while it tries to wait for the resultset. I tried adding Connect Timeout=200; pooling='true'; Max Pool Size=200" but it still times out.
I guess I do not necessarily need to wait for the result set. Is it possible to just send the SQL command with something like (making it up:) command.ExecuteOnServerAndDoNotWait?
Here is my code:

View 3 RepliesI am trying to call a webservice that requires me to authenticate and then pass the session id returned from the authenticate method to subsequent web service calls. The session id has to be passed as HTTP request header. So I tried using the following code to add the session id to a HTTP request header:
System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection headers =
HttpContext.Current.Request.Headers;
Type t = headers.GetType();
//get the property
System.Reflection.PropertyInfo p = t.GetProperty("IsReadOnly",System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance
| System.Reflection.BindingFlags.IgnoreCase | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic
| System.Reflection.BindingFlags.FlattenHierarchy);
//unset readonly
p.SetValue(headers, false,
null);
//add a header
headers.Add("Cookie",
"SID=" + sessionId );
The header is supposed to be called "Cookie" and the SID contains the session id. The problem is the last line in the code above gives an exception saying "Operation is not supported on this platform". I am running this code on my dev machine with with Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 and IIS 5.1. I haven't been able to find any solution to this problem after days of searching. I also tried to deploy my web app on IIS directly but had the same error.
I've got an ASP.NET application that serves MP3 content, but that content is generated during the request and can delay the sending of the response's first byte by several minutes.
The client is a podcatcher (I don't know which), and the lowest timeout I've seen is 20 seconds. That is, these clients are (reasonably enough) giving up relatively quickly, assuming there's no response coming.
How can I keep these clients from giving up? How can I let them know a response is coming?
I have a problem with my asp.net web application. During the test process, there was no problem but after a lot of users started to use application, it gets timeout.. Where should i check for this problem?
View 1 RepliesI have an ASP.NET web application that I can't modify (I only have the binaries). This application connects to a web service and it seems like the connection is closed from the client side (my web app). I have increased the "executionTimeout" in the machine.config of the destination server but my web app seems to still stop after waiting for a while.
Is there a way to increase the timeout time for my web application by simply modifying the web.config? As I said... I can't modify the timeout in the code so my only option would be through config files.
i have a web application which which proccesses some request on some data that client selects, when the client selects more than 20 objects and clicks on proceed the client recieves this error, because the server takes a long time to process, however if the records are less and hence a timely response is recieved, no such error comes?

The remote server returned an error: (408) Request Timeout.
i used like this ..

I have noticed that when I have a session that has expired, the Session_OnStart event fires with every new request.
I suppose that this behavior is not normal, because I was expecting that the session would re-start only with the first request and not with every subsequent request.
This behavior occurs only with sessions where the timeout period has been exceded.
The current conditions under which I have experienced this problem are:
I have experienced this problem with an application that is using the .NET 2.0 framework and with a session mode configured to InProc. This problem is happening both on Windows XP SP3 and Windows 2003 Server.
We have the timeout value set to 120 in our <form> tag within the web.config. We do not have a session timeout set.. and we have various connection strings.
We are having a problem where a session variable will disappear (become NULL) .. but, the form evidently remains 'open'.. or no re-login is required..... so, my question(s):
1. what is the relationship between form timeout and session timeout
2. how do I set session timeout
There is a page that send emails lots of them....it takes about 5 minutes even more to process the page. I need this specific page to remove the limits of a Request timeout error.... How do I do that?

Hopefully I am posting this in the correct forum.
I am having a problem with my ASP.Net Web application. The application is developed using vb.net and is linked to a SQL Server database. Let me explain how the application works and the problem I am experiencing. The system is an online web app which allows registered users to create a CV online. One of the pages within the app gives users the chance to add a cover note to their CV. The page that allows them to do this consists of only a textarea control and a button control. The textarea allows users to input up to 4,000 characters.
Once the user clicks the 'Save' button to save their cover note info, the following code then executes.This code checks to see if the CV already has cover note info, if it does, then the application runs an update statement, otherwise, it runs an insert statement.The table within the database which records the cover note information is called tbl_covernote and has three columns, covernote_id (int and autoincrement), cv_id(int), covernote_text (nvarchar(max)).
The error which occurs sometimes is as follows:
Dim dr As SqlDataReader
Dim param(0) As SqlParameter
Finally [code]...
The session state timeout is set using this web.config element
<sessionState mode="InProc" cookieless="false" timeout="120" />
The forms auth is configured using this web.config element
<system.web>
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="Login.aspx"
protection="All"
timeout="30"
name=".ASPXAUTH"
path="/"
requireSSL="false"
slidingExpiration="true"
defaultUrl="default.aspx"
cookieless="UseDeviceProfile"
enableCrossAppRedirects="false" />
</authentication>
</system.web>
What is the difference between the timeouts specified in each of these elements? If both are different, how would it work?
I have a page of each every click has ajax call to my server (hence, the ASP extends the session)
I have ASP.NET session set to Xmin. I want when X+1 min expires, I have expiration page. what I did was to set the JS timer to validate every x+1min to see if the session expired (the problem is that the JS and the ASP session timeouts are not synced)
