ok can i set the timeout limit in .net 2 ?
and does timeout mean the time for it to complete the method or doe si tmean nothing shappening?

for example what if it takes 5 minutes to transfer a file and i set it to timeout 30 seconds?
There are two places you may have to change:

1. Change the ASP.NET timeout

This is the most likely culprit of your errors

2. Use the Timeout property of your proxy class to set the proper time on
the client.

WebReference.ProxyClass myProxy = new WebReference.ProxyClass();
// Set the timeout in milliseconds -- e.g. 100 seconds
myProxy.Timeout = 100000;

Hope that helps.
