mCore™ .NET SMS Library 1.2

mCore.SMS.ReadIntervalTimeout Property

Description:

The ReadIntervalTimeout property defines the maximum time, in milliseconds, allowed to elapse between the arrival of two characters on the communication line before assuming that there is no more data being sent by the modem.

Certain GSM modems and SIM cards are slower in sending data (especially when reading messages from the SIM). Also certain phones send data at a slower rate if connected over IrDA or Bluetooth. This results at times in incomplete reading of messages etc. To avoid such errors increase the value of ReadIntervalTimeout value (default value is 150). Accepts a value between 1 and 5000.

Namespace: mCore
Assembly: mCoreLib (in mCoreLib.dll)

Exceptions:

mCore.GeneralException
