For information about setting the time-out interval before a TimeoutException exception is thrown, consult the documentation for the type whose method timed out. For information about handling the time-out, see the documentation for the method that threw the exception.
TimeoutException uses the HRESULT, COR_E_TIMEOUT, which has the value 0x80131505.
For a list of initial property values for an instance of TimeoutException, see the TimeoutException constructors.
The following code example demonstrates the use of TimeoutException in conjunction with members of the System.IO.Ports.SerialPort class.
' This example demonstrates the use of the TimeoutException ' exception in conjunction with the SerialPort class. Imports System Imports System.IO.Ports Class Sample Public Shared Sub Main() Dim input As String Try ' Set the COM1 serial port to speed = 4800 baud, parity = odd, ' data bits = 8, stop bits = 1. Dim sp As 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 e As TimeoutException Console.WriteLine(e) End Try End Sub 'Main End Class 'Sample ' '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() '
