The request channel timed out while waiting for a reply after 00:01:00 error for autocompleteextender

I get this error.

The request channel timed out while waiting for a reply after 00:01:00. Increase the timeout value passed to the call to Request or increase the SendTimeout value on the Binding. The time allotted to this operation may have been a portion of a longer timeout.

I am using an automcompleteextender which calls a [webmethod] which in turn calls a WCF service. The problem is when i enter 3 letters at a time the service call freezes. The extender never works. No other autocompleteextender works on the page later.

I have already tried setting sendTimeout and maxReceivedMessageSize. It doesnt help.

Please provide a word around.

Solution

  • Well i solved the issue. It was really strange on how it got solved.

    I had to change the binding from WsHttpBinding to BasicHttpBinding

    Everything else remained the same. It was just the Binding
