This property is read/write.

Syntax

TaskSettings.ExecutionTimeLimit As String

Property value

The amount of time that is allowed to complete the task. The format for this string is PnYnMnDTnHnMnS, where nY is the number of years, nM is the number of months, nD is the number of days, 'T' is the date/time separator, nH is the number of hours, nM is the number of minutes, and nS is the number of seconds (for example, PT5M specifies 5 minutes and P1M4DT2H5M specifies one month, four days, two hours, and five minutes). A value of PT0S will enable the task to run indefinitely. When this parameter is set to Nothing, the execution time limit is infinite.

Remarks

When reading or writing XML for a task, this setting is specified in the ExecutionTimeLimit element of the Task Scheduler schema.
