Property Value

The Tcp component will block (not execute further code on the main thread) until either the data requested is received or until the method blocks for the time specified in Tcp.ReceiveTimeout, at which point a SocketException is thrown. The default is 0, which indicates no timeout. When using Tcp.BeginReceive, the EndReceive event will fire with a SocketException, if the ReceiveTimeout period expires.

This property is useful for determining network failure while receiving data. It is also useful for cases where the response from the server has to occur quickly or not at all, such as in an ASP script or when connecting and receiving data from a series of sockets in a batch process.

If building a server application, this value determines how long a child connection can be idle before disconnecting them.

Note: If the ReceiveTimeout period expires, the resulting SocketException will NOT cause the connection to sever. This is different behavior that earlier versions of the Tcp object.

Target Platforms: Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0
