CommandTimeout in web.config

[Stephen]

Does anyone know if I can set the commandtimeout in the web.config for my
whole application or do I need to change this for every call. I want to
quickly change this globally if I can without releasing all the source. Can
someone show me how to do this if it is possible.

I dont think that you can - you'd be better off posting this question in the
ado newsgroup.

What many developers do is set it via an appsettings value and read it into
each connection string, or use a globally set connection string which
includes this . That way its globally set for each application - even so, it
wont help you get a quick release out with no code changes.
