Transaction scope timeout on 10 minutes

c#, entity-framework, transactions, transactionscope

Solution

Hello you can verify maxTimeout in your config file, if you don't have this section on your web.config or app.config

Verify your machine.config

<configuration> 
  <system.transactions>
    <machineSettings maxTimeout=""/>
  </system.transactions>
</configuration>

Adjust the value

Problem

I have a long running `TransactionScope` in C#. I told the scope that it should have a long timespan, but still I get a timeout. What could cause this? ``` TransactionOptions transactionOptions = new TransactionOptions(); transactionOptions.IsolationLevel = IsolationLevel.ReadCommitted; transactionOptions.Timeout = TimeSpan.MaxValue; using (var ts = new TransactionScope(TransactionScopeOption.Required, transactionOptions)) { DoLongCode(); } ```
