Question

i have developed a web application asp.net C#.

on a button click i am connecting to the database which takes long time to execute.
initially it use to timeout. now i increased the commondtimeout property ,

cmd.CommandTimeout = 500;

basically it processing of paygroups.
time required depends on num of employess in that paygroup.

so my question is if 1 of paygroup requires less time to execute say 2 or 3 mins, will the connection sill be open for specified time in commandtimeout property?

if yes . can we estimate the processing time and set the time accordingly .

Answer 1

why dont you try out something like this

using (SqlConnection cn = new SqlConnection(connectionString)) 
{
  //your codee to perform database operation
}

this will close your connection once your work get completed.
