dotConnect for ExactTarget - modify Operation timeout?

Hi there,
we're working with v1.0.119.0 of dotConnect for ExactTarget (dc/ET). We're having issues with downloads from data extensions consistently failing around 2.4 million records. We're able to complete these downloads using calls from the Fuel SDK, but would prefer to use dC/ET because of the number of downloads we have to do and its ease of use.

In the Fuel SDK, we can set the Operation Timeout to different values, and for us, 30 minutes has been successful. As far as I'm aware, dC/ET uses the Fuel SDK, or at least the SOAP api that Fuel provides access to...is there any way to modify this value in dC/ET to see if it helps with our download problems?

thanks!

Here's the code from Fuel that modifies the setting:

Code: Select all

ET_Client myclient = initClient(clientId, clientSecret);
myclient.soapclient.InnerChannel.OperationTimeout = new TimeSpan(0,30,0);

You can change the CommandTimeout property of an ExactTargetCommand object. The default value of the CommandTimeout property is 60 seconds. If the command execution takes more then 60 seconds, it is aborted. A value of 0 indicates no limit. For more information, please refer to https://www.devart.com/dotconnect/exact ... meout.html
