public:
 property System::String ^ TransactionTimeout { System::String ^ get(); void set(System::String ^ value); };
public string TransactionTimeout { get; set; }
member this.TransactionTimeout : string with get, set
Public Property TransactionTimeout As String

Property Value

A TimeSpan object that represents the time within which transactions must complete or be automatically aborted.

Exceptions

The value is null.

The value is less than Zero or greater than TimeSpan.MaxValue.

Examples

The following configuration file specifies a transaction timeout period of three minutes.

using System.ServiceModel;
using System.Transactions;

  // Note: To use the TransactionIsolationLevel property, you
  // must add a reference to the System.Transactions.dll assembly.
  /* The following service implementation:

Remarks

This value sets the ChannelDispatcher.TransactionTimeout property. You can also set this property using the <serviceTimeouts> element in an application configuration file.
