Any Timeout setting in ConnectionString of web.config

Hi:

I have some query that takes quite a long time to process in the sql server and every time the page seems to time out.

I wondor is there any Timeout setting that I can defined in the database ConnectionString in web.config file so that I can extend the "wait" time?

Many thanks!

I believe there is:

"integrated security=SSPI;SERVER=YOUR_SERVER;DATABASE=YOUR_DB_NAME;Connect Timeout=45;";

Jason,

I recently had a time out issue with an app after some servers where moved to a centralized location. In my case, the use of the sql server name caused my app to time out as apparently the newly located web server wasn't able to resolve the sql server name in the web.config file fast enough against the WINS server. The solution was to use our sql server's IP address in web.congif file instead of it's name. Then the app ran just fine.

Time outs can definitely be network related. Need to look at that as well as any app configuring.

Unfortunately not Jason. The timeout in the connection string only controls the timeout of the connection (How long the connection will wait before giving up), normally it's irrelevant as you'll get a (fairly) quick negative response.

That said, in your pages where the default 30 second command timeout is too short, in your SqlDataSource_Selecting/Inserting events, the e parameter will have a reference to the actualy SqlCommand object that is about to be used. Set it's timeout. Off the top of my head, I believe it is like:

e.SelectCommand.Timeout=90

That is assuming that you are having the issue with a SqlDataSource. SqlCommand objects have their own timeout parameter that you can set if that is what you are using and having an issue with.

Actually, e.Command.CommandTimeout=90
