Question

I’m using C# , .NET and SQL Server with Linq2SQL.

What does this error mean?

Is it a insert or read/select related error?

The function Classes.BLL.Save(LPage l) first selects COUNT from database and then INSERT a new record to database.

Update:

I know this is a timeout exception and its coming from the sql server.
but the error says two things ,

1) error in Common.DbCommand.ExecuteReader()
and

2) error in DataContext.SubmitChanges(ConflictMode failureMode) ,

So I’m trying to find out if the source of the error is the select command or the insert command.

Answer 1

It’s a select error – Insert queries would be done via ExecuteNonQuery if I remember right. Although, this error would probably appear in another way or form for Insert as well. It isn’t caused by Linq but by the Sql Server though.
