VB.Net File.Copy ConundrumHello.
I have a VB.Net program that copies a file from one server to another server. This program has been working without any problems for about a year. A couple of weeks ago the "server from" crashed and had to be rebuilt. Now, when the File.Copy method in the VB.Net program is executed an error occurs about 90% of the time, always with a larger file. Here's the line of code: File.Copy(sFileName, sDistributionPathFile) Is there some timeout property somewhere that needs to be set to resolve this issue? When first setting up this program I don't recall having to do this. TIA. Rita

If it is asp.net then you could be getting a time out from the request time out. If it is winform or console there should not be a time out. jjardine Hi James.
Thanks for your response. The program is a Windows Application. The File.Copy is within a Try statement but I dont actually check the exception. Try File.Copy(sDestinationPathFileQA, sDistributionPathFile) Catch e As Exception sStr = "Error copying file (" & sDestinationPathFileQA & _ ") to distribution server("& sDistributionPathFile & ")" ...... I will change the Catch routine to check the error message. Thanks for that!

The error message is: "The semaphore timeout period has expired."

I'm using VB.Net Development Environment 2003 7.1 and Net Framework 1.1. I found an article at Microsoft's Web site where they suggest a Registry change. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/892100/en-us.
