  ASP.NET Application Timeout Avoidance Reply Contact Hello, I have been writing an asp.net.VB class that will take extensive times to finish. If I run the class in my browser it will definitely timeout and I don't want to mess with IIS's TimeOut settings. I'm sure there is a way, but I don't know it; to instead of compiling with vbc.exe to a DLL file, compile it using the EXE extension. Then I could run it on the computer and not through a browser. My question is though how would I start the NameSpace/Class? Would the Page Load sub still Be Sub Page_Load(Sender as Object, e as EventArgs)? or would it change? Do modules have anything to do with what i want to do? Thankyou Ryan

  Re: ASP.NET Application Timeout Avoidance Reply Contact If you want to create a windows executable then you have to create an EXE type project, add a reference to your DLL, and create a sub Main() that calls the methods you want to execute. I have some code in my web project that runs for a long time (~45 min) but my browser never times out and it's got the standard IIS 20min timeout value. I just leave it alone and it eventually returns. As a alternative you can run it asyncronously in your browser. There's an MSDN article on that but unfortunately I can't remember the name of it. Good luck.
