ServicePoint.IdleSince Property

Definition

Namespace:

System.Net

Assembly:

System.Net.ServicePoint.dll

Source:

ServicePoint.cs

Gets the date and time that the ServicePoint object was last connected to a host.

public:
 property DateTime IdleSince { DateTime get(); };

public DateTime IdleSince { get; }

member this.IdleSince : DateTime

Public ReadOnly Property IdleSince As DateTime

Property Value

DateTime

A DateTime object that contains the date and time at which the ServicePoint object was last connected.

Examples

The following code example uses the IdleSince property to set and retrieve the date and time that the ServicePoint object was last connected to a host.

// Display the date and time that the ServicePoint was last 
// connected to a host.
Console::WriteLine( "IdleSince = {0}", sp->IdleSince );

// Display the maximum length of time that the ServicePoint instance  
// is allowed to maintain an idle connection to an Internet  
// resource before it is recycled for use in another connection.
Console::WriteLine( "MaxIdleTime = {0}", sp->MaxIdleTime );

// Display the date and time that the ServicePoint was last
// connected to a host.
Console.WriteLine("IdleSince = " + sp.IdleSince.ToString());

// Display the maximum length of time that the ServicePoint instance
// is allowed to maintain an idle connection to an Internet
// resource before it is recycled for use in another connection.
Console.WriteLine("MaxIdleTime = " + sp.MaxIdleTime);

' Display the date and time that the ServicePoint was last 
' connected to a host.
Console.WriteLine(("IdleSince = " + sp.IdleSince.ToString()))


' Display the maximum length of time that the ServicePoint instance 
' is allowed to maintain an idle connection to an Internet  
' resource before it is recycled for use in another connection.
Console.WriteLine(("MaxIdleTime = " + sp.MaxIdleTime.ToString()))

Remarks

Caution

WebRequest, HttpWebRequest, ServicePoint, and WebClient are obsolete, and you shouldn't use them for new development. Use HttpClient instead.

The IdleSince property records the last date and time at which a service point was disconnected from a host. When the difference between the current time and IdleSince exceeds the value of MaxIdleTime, the ServicePoint object is available for recycling to another connection.
