Question

I am testing whether option from app.config listed below Is applied to all transactions in the application.

<system.transactions>
   <defaultSettings timeout="00:05:00" />
</system.transactions>

Transaction are defined using transaction scope in following way

using (TransactionScope transactionScope = new TransactionScope(TransactionScopeOption.Required))

Is it possible to find out what timeout has transaction created by transaction scope?

Answer 1

You can do it using transactionoptions.timeout, see:

EDIT

Transaction scope does not have any public properties, so you will not be able to get any information. You only have access to the timeout through the constructor.
