HI All,
Generally while you are developing SharePoint  Solutions in VS 2010/2012/2013.Our Most Important Job is Deploying the Solutions , rite. There will be a rare cases that after deploying solution while activating the feature you will get below error.

Error occurred in deployment step 'Activate Features': A timeout has occurred while invoking commands in SharePoint host process.


This will happen only while activating feature through VS Only. As it is taking lot of time to activate the feature.

To Resolve the above issue we need to follow the below Procedure.

Open Window Run and type regedit and click on OK.



Navigate to below mentioined path in registry.

 VS 2010

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\SharePointTools

 VS 2013

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\SharePointTools

After Pointing to SharePointTools , right click on it and create one new DWORD(32-bit) entry



Provide the “ChannelOperation Timeout” as and Value is 600(10 min) in my case.You can give as per your wish.



Close the VS to effect and reopen it and try now.


Thanks.
