Hi. I'm trying to write a web form that will consumer the NOAA's web
service. I keep getting a timeout from my .net stuff, but their demo
seems to be getting live data, so I suspect I'm doing something wrong.

Have any of you ever done this?
I have a web reference to their wsdl
(http://www.nws.noaa.gov/forecasts/xml/DWMLgen/wsdl/ndfdXML.wsdl) and
the following code always times out:

Dim oWeather As New gov.noaa.nws.www.ndfdXML
Dim strReturn As String

Try
strReturn =
oWeather.NDFDgenByDay(38.32,-106.56,"2004-12-30", 1,
gov.noaa.nws.www.formatType.Item12hourly)

Catch ex As Exception
strReturn = ex.Message
End Try

lblweather.Text = strReturn

-------

Any hints would be appreciated!

Matt

I just tried it and got a timeout as well. I'm trying it again after raising
the timeout (I'm going to watch some TV and come back):

oWeather.Timeout = 1 * 60 * 60 * 1000 ' Before the Try

With the higher timeout, I get:

[WebException: The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error
occurred on a receive.]
System.Web.Services.Protocols.WebClientProtocol.GetWebResponse(WebRequest

I think their service may be down.

Thanks for checking. Sort of a relief, yet annoying too. I guess I'm
getting what I paid for with this free service!
