Gets or sets the amount of time a TcpClient will wait to receive data once a read operation is initiated.
(in System.dll)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Property ReceiveTimeout As Integer
Dim instance As TcpClient
Dim value As Integer
value = instance.ReceiveTimeout
instance.ReceiveTimeout = value
public int ReceiveTimeout { get; set; }
public:
property int ReceiveTimeout {
int get ();
void set (int value);
}
public function get ReceiveTimeout () : int
public function set ReceiveTimeout (value : int)
Property Value
Type:
System..::.Int32The time-out value of the connection in milliseconds. The default value is 0.
The ReceiveTimeout property determines the amount of time that the Read method will block until it is able to receive data. This time is measured in milliseconds. If the time-out expires before Read successfully completes, TcpClient throws a IOException. There is no time-out by default.
Windows Mobile for Pocket PC, Windows Mobile for Smartphone, Windows CE Platform Note:
In .NET Compact Framework applications, the ReceiveTimeout enumeration value is supported but reserved for future use. Because the ReceiveTimeout property uses this enumeration value, it will raise SocketException until the enumeration value is available in a future release of the .NET Compact Framework.
The following code example sets and gets the receive time out.
' Sets the receive time out using the ReceiveTimeout public property.
tcpClient.ReceiveTimeout = 5
' Gets the receive time out using the ReceiveTimeout public property.
If tcpClient.ReceiveTimeout = 5 Then
Console.WriteLine(("The receive time out limit was successfully set " + tcpClient.ReceiveTimeout.ToString()))
End If
// Sets the receive time out using the ReceiveTimeout public property.
tcpClient.ReceiveTimeout = 5000;
// Gets the receive time out using the ReceiveTimeout public property.
if (tcpClient.ReceiveTimeout == 5000)
Console.WriteLine ("The receive time out limit was successfully set " + tcpClient.ReceiveTimeout.ToString ());
// Sets the receive time out using the ReceiveTimeout public property.
tcpClient->ReceiveTimeout = 5;
// Gets the receive time out using the ReceiveTimeout public property.
if ( tcpClient->ReceiveTimeout == 5 )
Console::WriteLine( "The receive time out limit was successfully set {0}", tcpClient->ReceiveTimeout );
