Question

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();
}

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
