How to set sql timeout on the sqldatasource control

[DarrenB]

Hi
I have a query which takes longer than the default (30seconds I guess) time
to process (I am using the full text index in a sql server stored
procedure!). The results are place on a web page using the gridview and the
sql datasource controls.

In .Net 1.1 I guess I would have used the command.timeout property (I
already know that the web.config httpRuntime executionTimeout setting and the
sql connection timeout don't affect this the timeout I'm getting)

I am wondering how I access the sql timeout property with these new .net 2.0
controls which are great by the way.

I am guessing that I somehow reach into a the equivalent of the sqlcommand
in the datasource_selecting event and set the property. Anyone done this or
have any ideas?

Hi,

Thank you for your post.

You can set the select command's timeout value in SqlDataSource's Selecting
event:

protected void SqlDataSource1_Selecting(object sender,
SqlDataSourceSelectingEventArgs e)
{
e.Command.CommandTimeout = 30;
}

Hope this helps.
