Examples

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.

#using <System.dll>

using namespace System;
using namespace System::IO::Ports;

int main()
{
    String^ input;
    try
    {
        // Set the COM1 serial port to speed = 4800 baud, parity = odd,
        // data bits = 8, stop bits = 1.
        SerialPort^ port = gcnew SerialPort("COM1",
            4800, Parity::Odd, 8, StopBits::One);
        // Timeout after 2 seconds.
        port->ReadTimeout = 2000;
        port->Open();

        // Read until either the default newline termination string
        // is detected or the read operation times out.
        input = port->ReadLine();

        port->Close();

        // Echo the input.
        Console::WriteLine(input);
    }

    // Only catch timeout exceptions.
    catch (TimeoutException^ ex)
    {
        Console::WriteLine(ex);
    }
};
/*
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.

Remarks

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.
