SmtpClient.Timeout Property
.NET Framework (current version)
Gets or sets a value that specifies the amount of time after which a synchronous Send call times out.
Assembly: System (in System.dll)
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentOutOfRangeException | The value specified for a set operation was less than zero. |
| InvalidOperationException | You cannot change the value of this property when an email is being sent. |
By default, calls to the Send method block until the operation completes. If you set the Timeout property to a positive value, and a Send operation cannot complete in the allotted time, the SmtpClient class throws an SmtpException exception.
To send a message and continue executing in the application thread, use the SendAsync method.
