Silverlight enabled WCF Service times out - How to set inactivityTimeout

Question

Hello, My WCF service uses customBinding that is created automatically when I add a Silverlight enabled wcf service using Visual studio menu. The problem is that this service times-out after about 15 mins of inactivity form the silverlight client. How do I set inactivityTimeout? As per my understanding this can only be added to ws- and netTcpBinding and silverlight does not support ws binding. I have set the opentimeout, close timeout, receivetimeout, sendtimeout properties. Has anyone experienced this issue? How did you resolve it?

 I found this post pretty useful when trying to understand WCF timeouts:

Thank you mthornal. I have already seen this link but I couldn't find the answer to my question there.

Hi Harsh,

Please refer to my reply on this thread.  Also, if your service is hosted in a asp.net website, we need to also set httpRuntime.executionTimeout to a larger value.  By default, it will be 110s.
