Configure a timeout in web.config for a web service

Hello everybody,

I have a web service hosted in IIS 7.5.

The web service works fine.

I try to configure a timeout in the web.config, but I can't do it.

I tried in my web.config :

<Configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation debug="false" targetFramework="4.8" />
<httpRuntime targetFramework="4.8" executionTimeout="10" />
<sessionState timeout="2" />
system.web>
Configuration>

and in the web service controller :

Thread.Sleep(180000) //3 minutes

I thought the execution would stop after 10 seconds but instead it stops after 1 minute, whatever I put in the "executionTimeout" and "timeout" parameters.

I have searched in IIS but impossible to find what this minute corresponds to.

Does someone have an idea ?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Eric.

InProc is one of the available Session Stae Modes in ASP.NET.Proc Session has a major advantage of hosting multiple web application in single IIS.
There is a feature available to set the Session State Mode and session timeout in the Web.Config file of application you are working.
This will allow to keep the session alive for 1 minute and the default session timeout is 20minutes.
"InProc" timeout="1">
