I want my TCP client to timeout if it can't connect within 3 seconds. I've looked at the documentation, but it isn't clear how the TimeoutConnect property should be specified (milliseconds, seconds?). After examining the code, it looks somewhat complicated with additional properties like TimeoutSampling, TimeoutIdle, TimeoutConnect, TimeoutStartSampling, TimeoutKeepThreadAlive, etc.
The FAQ (http://wiki.overbyte.be/wiki/index.php/FAQ.Timeout) says to use a TTimer, which I have done for read timeouts, but I want to understand the purpose/advantages of the aforementioned functions so I know why/when to use them instead of my own timer. Also, can the built in timer be used for read timeouts, or is it just for connection timeouts?
