Question

I have tried everything.from ;Connection Timeout=600; to pooling='true'; Max Pool Size=200" to everything..I have a query in the data source which i need to run and it takes some time.This Timeout is really annoying !

Answer 1

You can set the select command's timeout value in SqlDataSource's Selecting event:

protected void SqlDataSource1_Selecting(object sender, SqlDataSourceSelectingEventArgs e)
{
e.Command.CommandTimeout = 30;  //or more time....
}

Answer 2

Are you using ADO.NET? If so, try using:

SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
cmd.CommandTimeout = 600;
