The following Code (written in Expression Shapes) will write to the Event Log:
System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry("Detail: "+System.Convert.ToString(SOAPException.Message),"");

The following Code will set a Timeout for a WebService:
WSRegistrationRequest(SOAP.ClientConnectionTimeout) = 20000;

Both Tips are out of a nice MSDN Article (BizTalk 2004 and WebServices):

3 steps to deploy an assembly in the GAC:

1. Create or locate Key File for signing: sn -k "Path to SNK File"
2. Assign the Key to your Project (AssemblyInfo File): <Assembly: AssemblyKeyFile("Path to SNK File")>
3. Deploy the dll: gacutil -I "Path to DLL"
