ConnectTimeout Property

This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.

The ConnectTimeout property specifies a time interval in seconds used by the Microsoft Search service when a connection is attempted to an instance of Microsoft SQL Server version enabled for full-text search.

Syntax

object.ConnectTimeout [=value]

Parts

  • object
    An expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list

  • value
    A positive, long integer that specifies a number of seconds

Data Type

Long

Modifiable

Read/write

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT GetConnectTimeout(LPLONG pRetVal);
HRESULT SetConnectTimeout(long NewValue);

Remarks

The Microsoft Search service must connect to an enabled instance of SQL Server 7.0 or later to populate full-text catalogs.

The default value is 20 seconds.

Note

The Microsoft Search service must be running on the referenced server before the connection time-out value is altered using the ConnectTimeout property.
