InternetTimeout Property Example (VB)

  • Article

Important

Beginning with Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, RDS server components are no longer included in the Windows operating system (see Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 Compatibility Cookbook for more detail). RDS client components will be removed in a future version of Windows. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature. Applications that use RDS should migrate to WCF Data Service.

This example demonstrates the InternetTimeout property, which exists on the DataControl and DataSpace objects. This example uses the DataControl object and sets the timeout to 20 seconds.

'BeginInternetTimeoutVB  
  
Public Sub Main()  
    On Error GoTo ErrorHandler  
  
    Dim dc As RDS.DataControl  
    Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset  
    Set dc = New RDS.DataControl  
  
    dc.Server = "https://MyServer"  
    dc.ExecuteOptions = 1  
    dc.FetchOptions = 1  
    dc.Connect = "Provider='sqloledb';Data Source='MySqlServer';" & _  
        "Initial Catalog='Pubs';Integrated Security='SSPI';"  
    dc.SQL = "SELECT * FROM Authors"  
     ' Wait at least 20 seconds  
    dc.InternetTimeout = 200  
  
    dc.Refresh  
     ' Use another Recordset as a convenience  
    Set rst = dc.Recordset  
    Do While Not rst.EOF  
       Debug.Print rst!au_fname & " " & rst!au_lname  
       rst.MoveNext  
    Loop  
  
    If rst.State = adStateOpen Then rst.Close  
    Set rst = Nothing  
    Set dc = Nothing  
    Exit Sub  
  
ErrorHandler:  
    ' clean up  
    If Not rst Is Nothing Then  
        If rst.State = adStateOpen Then rst.Close  
    End If  
    Set rst = Nothing  
    Set dc = Nothing  
  
    If Err <> 0 Then  
        MsgBox Err.Source & "-->" & Err.Description, , "Error"  
    End If  
  
End Sub
