Value

A int containing the length of time, in milliseconds, before the current request will time out, or System.Threading.Timeout.Infinite to indicate that the request does not time out. [Edit]

Exceptions

Type	Reason
NotSupportedException	This property is not implemented in the derived class. [Edit]

Remarks

Operation

Classes that derive from System.Net.WebRequest are required to indicate a timeout by throwing a System.Net.WebException with the WebException.Status field set to WebExceptionStatus.Timeout if a request times out.

This property throws a NotSupportedException exception.

Note to Inheritors

This property must be overridden by classes that inherit from System.Net.WebRequest to provide this functionality.

Usage

Use this property to set the timeout period for requests for resources.

The WebRequest.Timeout property affects only synchronous requests made with the WebRequest.GetResponse method. To time out asynchronous requests, use the WebRequest.Abort method.
