TimeoutException (Clase)

// This example demonstrates the use of the TimeoutException 
// exception in conjunction with the SerialPort class.

using System;
using System.IO.Ports;

class Sample 
{
    public static void Main() 
    {
    string input;
    try 
        {
// Set the COM1 serial port to speed = 4800 baud, parity = odd, 
// data bits = 8, stop bits = 1.
        SerialPort sp = new SerialPort("COM1", 
                        4800, Parity.Odd, 8, StopBits.One); 
// Timeout after 2 seconds.
        sp.ReadTimeout = 2000;
        sp.Open();

// Read until either the default newline termination string 
// is detected or the read operation times out.
        input = sp.ReadLine();

        sp.Close();

// Echo the input.
        Console.WriteLine(input);
        }

// Only catch timeout exceptions.
    catch (TimeoutException e)
        {
        Console.WriteLine(e);
        }
    }
}
/*
This example produces the following results:

(Data received at the serial port is echoed to the console if the 
read operation completes successfully before the specified timeout period 
expires. Otherwise, a timeout exception like the following is thrown.)

System.TimeoutException: The operation has timed-out.
   at System.IO.Ports.SerialStream.ReadByte(Int32 timeout)
   at System.IO.Ports.SerialPort.ReadOneChar(Int32 timeout)
   at System.IO.Ports.SerialPort.ReadTo(String value)
   at System.IO.Ports.SerialPort.ReadLine()
   at Sample.Main()
