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() '
