Throttling connections to ASMX Web Service from the client side

Question

I'm calling an asmx service repeatedly using the Async methods and am getting this error

The HTTP request to 'https://example.com/WebService.asmx' has exceeded the allotted timeout of 00:01:00. The time allotted to this operation may have been a portion of a longer timeout.

Is there any easy way that I can throttle my calls so that I don't overload the server and therefore my requests will return in time (assuming that's the problem)?

There's no built-in way to do it if you're using a Web Reference.

In fact, I don't think there's a way to do it with a Service Reference either.

Thanks for that, I have just had a crazy thought involving TryInvokeMember and a queue. – ridecar2 Feb 29 '12 at 15:36
