Gets or sets a time-out in milliseconds when writing to or reading from a stream.
Public Property ReadWriteTimeout As Integer
Dim instance As HttpWebRequest Dim value As Integer value = instance.ReadWriteTimeout instance.ReadWriteTimeout = value
public int ReadWriteTimeout { get; set; }
public: property int ReadWriteTimeout { int get (); void set (int value); }
public function get ReadWriteTimeout () : int public function set ReadWriteTimeout (value : int)
The request has already been sent.
The value specified for a set operation is less than or equal to zero and is not equal to Infinite
The ReadWriteTimeout property is used when writing to the stream returned by the GetRequestStream method or reading from the stream returned by the GetResponseStream method.
Specifically, the ReadWriteTimeout property controls the time-out for the Read method, which is used to read the stream returned by the GetResponseStream method, and for the Write method, which is used to write to the stream returned by the GetRequestStream method.
To specify the amount of time to wait for the request to complete, use the Timeout property.
The following code example shows how to set the ReadWriteTimeout property.
HttpWebRequest myReq = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://www.contoso.com/"); myReq.ReadWriteTimeout = 100000;
