Whoops. I need to learn how to read, I guess. The timeout is an
SqlClient.SqlException. I need to set the CommandTimeout on the connection.
I apologize for any wasted time.

Sounds like you found the solution to the exception you were getting.
However, may I make a design suggestion? If you anticipate a web service
call to take 20 minutes to return a result, could you instead redesign to
make the client submit the request. Have the web service return an
acknowledgement that it would start work. You can then have your client
continuously checking back in (every 30 seconds or so) until the server was
finished.
This method takes a bit more work, but it will be more scalable and less
interuption prone. With your current model you're tying up network
resources on the server. Additionally, if there is any network hiccup in
that 20 minutes you've lost the work and will have to restart with a new
request.

That's a good suggestion. Given the opportunity to make a change like that,
I'll definitely do something like that.
Thanks,
