ClientBase<TChannel>.ChannelBase<T>.ICommunicationObject.Close Method (TimeSpan)

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Causes a communication object to transition from its current state into the closed state.

Namespace:  System.ServiceModel
Assembly:  System.ServiceModel (in System.ServiceModel.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Private Sub Close ( _
    timeout As TimeSpan _
) Implements ICommunicationObject.Close

void ICommunicationObject.Close(
    TimeSpan timeout
)

Parameters

  • timeout
    Type: System.TimeSpan
    The Timespan that specifies how long the send operation has to complete before timing out.

Implements

ICommunicationObject.Close(TimeSpan)

Remarks

This method causes an ICommunicationObject to gracefully transition from the Opened state to the Closed state within a specified interval of time. The Close method allows any unfinished work to be completed before returning. (For example, finish sending any buffered messages.)

The ICommunicationObject enters the Closing state and remains in it until the transition to the Closed state is completed.

Close returns once the Closed state is reached.

If the time-out elapses before the ICommunicationObject is able to gracefully close, the ICommunicationObject is aborted.
