Timeout Property

Specifies the amount of time for which an inactive asynchronous operation will wait before throwing an exception.

Syntax

Visual Basic

'Declaration
 
Public Property Timeout As TimeSpan

C#

public TimeSpan Timeout {get; set;}

Remarks

When an asynchronous task is executed, the amount of time it takes to process the request is dependent on various factors, such as current server load, server processor capabilities, network bandwidth, etc.

If an asynchronous task spends more time in the 'waiting for activation' state than is allowed by the value of this property, a TimeoutException is thrown.
