Hi guys,

I'm developing a call to a WCF service for my company.
The service is developed by an external company.

This WCF has a call that checks if an item exists, but instead of returning false it goes in timeout..

I have to fix that by my side, till the time the company that developed the service will fix that behaviour.

I'm asking if there is a way to call a method and to go to the next instruction no matter witch what data, after a small timespan (a lot smaller than the timeout).

Thanks

J.J.

I believe you can switch on an option that will provide asynchronous operations. (In WCF this is the checkbox: "Generate asynchronous operations" on the dialog box, this will give two methods for each service operation a begin and a callback)

Alternatively you can start a thread when calling the webservice method and go from there. If you want to move this way, probably the BackgroundWorker class could help you or have a look at the Thread classes.

Hope this helps.
