In my ASP.NET application, I have a sqlclient connectionstring in my web.config file, What is the recommended timeout setting for production environment? Default is 15 seconds.
My web farm and database cluster are on the same switch, so there should not be much latency.
The default timeout will work for most scenarios. If it doesn’t in yours and you encounter problems you could modify it. Lowering this timeout could be good in cases where you want to immediately throw an exception if there are problems connecting to avoid monopolizing worker threads.
