Timeout Expired SQL Exception
Hello,
I have a form within a Visual Basic application that executes a stored procedure (housed in sql 2000) using something like the following block of code
Using connection As New SqlClient.SqlConnection(Gl
Dim MySTPObject As New SqlClient.SqlCommand("Stor
With MySTPObject
.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedur
.Connection.Open()
.ExecuteNonQuery()
.Connection.Close()
End With
End Using
The code fails to finish and causes an sqlexception with a timeout expired message. The stored procedure takes a while to finish so I have tried setting the connection timeout property for the connection string in use but regardless of what I enter I receive a timeout error after a minute or so. I have also verified that the remote query timeout setting within the sql server is set to unlimited (0). Are there any other timeout settings I could be missing or perhaps even another cause for this error?
