| Timeout | Gets or sets a default time after which a transaction times out. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|

| DeserializeSection | Infrastructure. Reads XML from the configuration file. (Inherited from ConfigurationSection.) |
| Equals | Compares the current ConfigurationElement instance to the specified object. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement.) |
| GetHashCode | Gets a unique value representing the current ConfigurationElement instance. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement.) |
| GetRuntimeObject | Returns a custom object when overridden in a derived class. (Inherited from ConfigurationSection.) |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Init | Sets the ConfigurationElement object to its initial state. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement.) |
| InitializeDefault | Used to initialize a default set of values for the ConfigurationElement object. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement.) |
| IsModified | Indicates whether this configuration element has been modified since it was last saved or loaded when implemented in a derived class. (Inherited from ConfigurationSection.) |
| IsReadOnly | Gets a value indicating whether the ConfigurationElement object is read-only. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement.) |
| Reset | Resets the internal state of the ConfigurationElement object, including the locks and the properties collections. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement.) |
| ResetModified | Resets the value of the IsModified method to false when implemented in a derived class. (Inherited from ConfigurationSection.) |
| SerializeElement | Writes the contents of this configuration element to the configuration file when implemented in a derived class. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement.) |
| SerializeSection | Infrastructure. Creates an XML string containing an unmerged view of the ConfigurationSection object as a single section to write to a file. (Inherited from ConfigurationSection.) |
| SerializeToXmlElement | Writes the outer tags of this configuration element to the configuration file when implemented in a derived class. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement.) |
| SetReadOnly | Sets the IsReadOnly property for the ConfigurationElement object and all subelements. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement.) |
| ShouldSerializeElementInTargetVersion | Indicates whether the specified element should be serialized when the configuration object hierarchy is serialized for the specified target version of the .NET Framework. (Inherited from ConfigurationSection.) |
| ShouldSerializePropertyInTargetVersion | Indicates whether the specified property should be serialized when the configuration object hierarchy is serialized for the specified target version of the .NET Framework. (Inherited from ConfigurationSection.) |
| ShouldSerializeSectionInTargetVersion | Indicates whether the current ConfigurationSection instance should be serialized when the configuration object hierarchy is serialized for the specified target version of the .NET Framework. (Inherited from ConfigurationSection.) |
| ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Unmerge | Modifies the ConfigurationElement object to remove all values that should not be saved. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement.) |
An example configuration file used by your transaction application can be as follows,
<configuration>
<system.transactions>
<defaultSettings distributedTransactionManagerName="F04M25" timeout="02:00:00"/>
<machineSettings maxTimeout="02:00:00"/>
</system.transactions>
</configuration>
This example specifies the default values of a transaction. Specifically, it sets the the computer name of the Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MSDTC) that is responsible for coordinating all distributed transactions started locally, and the default time after which a transaction times out. In addition, it specifies a setting that can only be modified at the machine level, which is the maximum amount of time allowed before a transaction times out.
Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core Role not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core Role supported with SP1 or later; Itanium not supported)
The .NET Framework does not support all versions of every platform. For a list of the supported versions, see .NET Framework System Requirements.
