AcceptMessageSession - serverWaitTime What is this?

Hi,

I am developing code to send messages and receive responses via service bus. Messages and responses are paired via a SesionID.

I am trying to understand the various timeouts that are available

My code (first draft) looks like this:

        public async Task<TResponse> SendMessageAsync(TMessage message)
        {
            // send request message
            var msg = CreateRequestMessage(message);
            _requestClient.SendAsync(msg);

            var receiver = await _responseClient.AcceptMessageSessionAsync(msg.ReplyToSessionId, TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(TimeoutMs)).ConfigureAwait(false);
            try
            {
                // receive response message
                BrokeredMessage receivedMessage = await
                    receiver.ReceiveAsync(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(TimeoutMs)).ConfigureAwait(false);
                if (receivedMessage != null)
                {
                    var body = receivedMessage.GetBody<Stream>();
                    return _serializer.DeserializeObject<TResponse>(new StreamReader(body, true).ReadToEnd());
                }
                else
                {
                    throw new TimeoutException();
                }
            }
            finally
            {
                receiver.Close();
            }
        }

I am testing all my assumptions within the code and am trying to figure out the effect of the serverWaitTime parameter within the AcceptMessageSessionAsync call.

I cant figure it out and the docs are unclear (at least to me ;-). Whatever the value (even TimeSpan.FromTicks(1)) the call returns a MessageSession immediately. No nulls, no TimeoutException.

Only the serverWaitTime on ReceiveAsync seems to make a difference.

Am I missing something? Can someone please explain the serverWaitTime parameter in the AcceptMessageSessionAsync method.

Thanks,

M
