System.Threading.Timeout Member Details

Summary

A constant used to specify an infinite waiting period. This field is constant.

C# Syntax:

public const int Infinite;

The value of this constant is -1. For threading methods that accept a timeout parameter, such as Thread.Sleep and Thread.Join, this value is used to suppress method behavior that would normally occur due to elapsed time.
