DatabaseDataSet.ConnectTimeout Property
Gets or sets a value indicating how long the dataset should wait before considering a connection attempt as failed.
Syntax
public System.Int32 ConnectTimeout { get; set; }Property Value
Default: 0
The number of seconds the dataset should wait before considering a connection attempt as failed.
Remarks
The supported database drivers will typically return with an error after some time in case a connection can not be made. However, this can be unreliable, and in some cases there may not be a way to specify this timeout.
Therefore, if you set this property to a value greater than 0, Carmenta Engine will use its own timeout handling. The connection will be attempted on a separate thread; if this thread doesn't complete before the specified time, the calling thread will return with a timeout error. The thread doing the connection will eventually get an error and do the necessary cleanup internally.
If the value is 0 (the default), no explicit timeout will be used, the underlying database driver will do its own timeout handling.
