connect timeout for synchronous socket connection

[Guest]

Hi,

..NET Sockets does not provide a ConnectTimeout when calling the Connect
method while establishing a Synchronous socket connection. Instead, my
app is forced to wait a very long time before and Exception is thrown if the
server i'm trying to connect to is not listening.

Has anyone written any code to mimmick a connect timeout for a synchronous
socket connect? Please share.

Thanks a lot.

You can specify both send and receive timeouts using
Socket.SetSocketOption(), e.g.


int timeout = 2000; // in milliseconds
socket.SetSocketOption(
SocketOptionLevel.Socket,
SocketOptionName.SendTimeout,
timeout);

The SendTimeOut option is used for timeouts on Send not initial connects.
I am using the .NET CF to connect synchronously and need to set a timeout
for the Connect method.

Any other ideas?

Hm, I kind of assumed that the Send timeout applies for Connect() as
well.
