Convert line of code from VB to C#

patrick

Hello,
I was having a problem with mappoint, and at the following link I encountered someone else having the same problem as I was. http://www.mapforums.com/sitemap/t-2318.html
The post:
actually the error is generated by the timeout expiring but not releasing the control thread back your app in a timely manner..

this can be resolved with any COM based object in VB by adding the line

App.OleRequestPendingTimeout = TimeInMiliseconds

to the length needed for the query....
Solved my problem, except that I cannot find the C# equivalent for App.OleRequestPendingTimeout = TimeInMiliseconds. What would this be? Also, what is the default and what do you recommend I set it to?

Thank you.

You could look at this post. OleRequestPendingTimeout is pure VB6/ VBa and is not ported to .net.

The solution mentioned here is to use a Timer.

Select Case TimerProc
Case "SelectionChange"

Case "MouseUp"

Case "ProcThatMustBeRunFromThisFormModuleButYouWantToCal lfromOutside"

End Select

okay, i put that in, but im not sure how that is actually helping. Can someone explain what this mappoint issue is and how this code fixes it?

Google tells me that the App object does not support OLEServerBusyTimeout anymore. So how do I fix this problem.
The real issue is if the map takes longer than a few seconds to find an address, the "Server busy" window appears and locks up the whole system.

It is a windows application. I am using the namespace System.Windows.Application, but cannot find the property for OLEServerBusyTimeout anywhere.

Is this a windows or web application?
try using namespace System.Windows.Application

The problem is theres no object called App. Application does not contain a definition for OLEServerBusyTimeout. Just what is supposed to be calling this code?

The below code taken from msdn and converted from here, please try.

public void SetTimeouts(long lngComponentBusy, long lngRequestPending)
{
 App.OLEServerBusyTimeout = lngComponentBusy;
 App.OLERequestPendingTimeout = lngRequestPending;
}

public void ResetTimeouts()
{
 App.OLEServerBusyTimeout = 10000;

 App.OLERequestPendingTimeout = 5000;
}
