Question

When calling a stored procedure from vb.net is there a default SQL timeout time if no timeout is specified in the connection string?
I am unsure if there is a CommandTimeout specified in the connection string but am going through all the possibilites.

Example if no results after 30 seconds (or more) throw:

`System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.`

SQL Profiler says that the script runs and ends in 30 seconds when the program timesout..

Tthe script runs without error in about 1 minute 45 seconds by itself in SQL server.

Answer 1

The timeout value for executing SQL isn’t stored in the connection string, it is stored in the SqlCommand as SqlCommand.CommandTimeout.

Default is 30 seconds.
