SQLConnection.c onnectiontimeou t

[cj]

MySQLConnection .connectiontime out() returns 15. I want to drop that to
3, but it is read only. I see you can include the timeout "Connection
Timeout=30" as part of the connection string but I don't necessarily
want it at 3 during the connection--just for queries. Is there a way to
set it after I'm connected or for it not to affect the connection process?

Hi Cj,

As for the SqlConnection's Timeout setting, it should be configured through
the "Connection Timeout" attribute in connectionstrin g, after the
SqlConnection object is created, that property is readonly.

#SqlConnection. ConnectionTimeo ut Property
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib....sqlconnection
..connectiontim eout.aspx

However, if what you want to do is restrict the timeout period of a certain
query or update command's execution, you should use use
SqlCommand.Comm andTimeout property to control the command execution timeout:

#SqlCommand.Com mandTimeout Property
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib....sqlcommand.co
mmandtimeout(VS .80).aspx

Also, to make use of this CommandTimeout, you need to turn off "Context
Connection" in the connectionstrin g(as indicated in the above reference).

Sincerely,

Steven Cheng
