Remoting set timeout

Question

.Net remoting is used in my brownfield application. We decided to set timeouts for our remoting methods.

System.Collections.IDictionary properties = new System.Collections.Hashtable();
properties["name"] = Ipc_Channel_Name;
properties["timeout"] = 1 * 1000;

IChannel clientChannel = new IpcClientChannel(properties, null);
ChannelServices.RegisterChannel(clientChannel, false);

The problem is that it seems that timeout doesn't work ((. I checked it by setting System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5 * 1000); in the invoked code. Maybe the reason is that IpcClientChannel doesn't support timeouts? Does anybody know how to set the timeout? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

The name of property to set the timeout of the IpcClientChannel isn´t "timeout". The name is "connectiontimeout". See here. Then it should work.

System.Collections.IDictionary properties = new System.Collections.Hashtable();
properties["name"] = Ipc_Channel_Name;
properties["connectiontimeout"] = 1 * 1000;

IChannel clientChannel = new IpcClientChannel(properties, null);
ChannelServices.RegisterChannel(clientChannel, false);
