DocumentManager.HibernateTimeout Property

Specifies the idle timeout after which an open document is hibernated.

Namespace: DevExpress.Web.Office

Assembly: DevExpress.Web.v25.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Web

Declaration

public static TimeSpan HibernateTimeout { get; set; }

Property Value

Type Default Description
TimeSpan TimeSpan.FromHours(1)

An object that specifies the idle timeout.

Remarks

When the document hibernation is enabled (the EnableHibernation property is set to true), the DocumentManager hibernates inactive open documents after an idle timeout passed. Use the HibernateTimeout property to specify the idle timeout value.

The HibernatedDocumentsDisposeTimeout property specifies how long hibernated documents are stored on the server before disposal.

Example

Specify the hibernation settings in the Application_Start method handler in the global.asax file. In this instance, users are not required to reload the page with the Spreadsheet control and can continue to work with the open document even after a server failure.

The following code sample demonstrates how to define the hibernation settings:

using DevExpress.Web.Office;

namespace YOUR_APP_ROOT_NAMESPACE {  
    public class Global_asax : System.Web.HttpApplication {  

        void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e) {  
            // Code that runs on application startup
            DocumentManager.HibernationStoragePath = Server.MapPath("~/App_Data/HibernationStorage/"); // Required setting
            DocumentManager.HibernateTimeout = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(30); // Optional setting
            DocumentManager.HibernatedDocumentsDisposeTimeout = TimeSpan.FromDays(1); // Optional setting
            DocumentManager.HibernateAllDocumentsOnApplicationEnd = true; // Optional setting
            DocumentManager.EnableHibernation = true; // Required setting to turn the hibernation on
        }  
    }  
}
