Been sometime since I’ve posted something. We’ll be moving over to another company but hopefully when things settle down I’ll be able to post more.

Anyways, while trying to debug a project, I tried to set the HttpRuntime ExecutionTimeout to a certain value. When a request reaches the server but takes more than the indicated value to finish processing return a response to the client (not to be mistaken with the time it takes from server to browser), it would throw an exception to the client. I tried to test this by including a System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(x) in my code and set the execution timeout to a value less than x.

However for some reason, no error/exception is thrown. After some research, it turned out that the [compilation] -> [debug] attribute must be set to false in order for the execution timeout to take effect
