SUMMARY

This article describes the timeout property in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 and in Microsoft Visual Studio .NET. You can set and configure the timeout property in the application configuration file.

MORE INFORMATION

The timeout property is the channel configuration property, and you can specify the timeout property for the current channel in the configuration file.

The value of the timeout property is an integer that specifies the period that is before the request should time out. To request no time-out period, set timeout to -1.

Setting the timeout property is a useful way to build an application by using the configuration file. Otherwise, you must create properties and set properties programmatically, and then you must pass values to the constructors.

The following example shows how you can set the timeout property in the application configuration file:

Note In the following example, the time-out period is set to 10,000.
 <configuration>
  <system.runtime.remoting>
    <application>
      ...
      <channels>
         <channel ref="http">
            <formatter ref="soap"/>
            <provider ref="propsetter" username="bob" writeToConsole="true">
               <endpoint allowAutoRedirect="true"/>
               <endpoint preauthenticate="true"/>
               <endpoint url="example.com:9000" password="xyz" />
               <endpoint url="example.com:9001" password="123" />
               <endpoint timeout="10000"/>
            </provider>
         </channel>
      </channels>
       ... 
   </application>
   </system.runtime.remoting>
</configuration>
