Definition

Namespace:

System.ServiceModel

Assembly:

System.ServiceModel.Primitives.dll

Package:

System.ServiceModel.Primitives v8.1.0

Source:

IDefaultCommunicationTimeouts.cs

Gets the interval of time after which the open method, invoked by a communication object, times out.

public:
 property TimeSpan OpenTimeout { TimeSpan get(); };

public TimeSpan OpenTimeout { get; }

member this.OpenTimeout : TimeSpan

Public ReadOnly Property OpenTimeout As TimeSpan

Property Value

TimeSpan

The TimeSpan that specifies the interval of time to wait for the open method to time out.

Remarks

All operations that are potentially lengthy must have a timeout. Methods that don't take explicit timeouts, must delegate to those that do with default timeouts or must not do any work that blocks. Timeouts are the total limit for high-level operations for which they are to complete, so any retries must be limited to the time not already consumed by earlier tries.
