RequestContext.Reply Method (Message, TimeSpan)
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
When overridden in a derived class, replies to a request message within a specified interval of time.
Namespace: System.ServiceModel.Channels
Assembly: System.ServiceModel (in System.ServiceModel.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public MustOverride Sub Reply ( _
message As Message, _
timeout As TimeSpan _
)
public abstract void Reply(
Message message,
TimeSpan timeout
)
Parameters
- message
Type: System.ServiceModel.Channels.Message
The incoming Message that contains the request.
- timeout
Type: System.TimeSpan
The Timespan that specifies the interval of time to wait for the reply to a request.
Remarks
Use Reply() when it is acceptable for the current thread to be blocked while it replies to the request message. The thread is blocked up to the specified timeout.
If the application processing must continue without waiting for the reply to complete, use the asynchronous BeginReply() method. This method receives notification, through a callback, of the identity of the event handler for the operation. The operation is not complete until either a message becomes available in the channel or the time-out occurs.
