Gets or sets the number of milliseconds before a time-out occurs when a write operation does not finish.
Syntax
[System.ComponentModel.DefaultValue(-1)]
[System.Diagnostics.MonitoringDescription("")]
public int WriteTimeout { get; set; }
Value
Documentation for this section has not yet been entered.
Remarks
The write time-out value was originally set at 500 milliseconds in the Win32 Communications API. This property allows you to set this value. The time-out can be set to any value greater than zero, or set to SerialPort.InfiniteTimeout, in which case no time-out occurs. SerialPort.InfiniteTimeout is the default.
Users of the unmanaged COMMTIMEOUTS structure might expect to set the time-out value to zero to suppress time-outs. To suppress time-outs with the SerialPort.WriteTimeout property, however, you must specify SerialPort.InfiniteTimeout.
This property does not affect the System.IO.Stream.BeginWrite(Byte[], int, int, AsyncCallback, object) method of the stream returned by the SerialPort.BaseStream property.
