I am gettting SQL time out error in my .net service.

As the service is already installed on the production, is there any way I can increase the timeout for the service from App.Config file.

At present, I am getting this exception after one minute, I have to make it to around 10 hours because the stored procedure we are using takes 2-2 hours to execute.

You could try setting the CommandTimeout property on your SqlCommand. I hope you are not doing this in an ASP.NET application.

Thanks for replying, Darin. But for that I need to deploy the service again. Is there any way I can make changes in App.Config file so I don't need to deploy that service again?

No, there is no way doing this in app.config.

A: 

The time out setting is up to database server.

In SQL Server Manager open the SQL Server Properties and pick the connection tab and set time out as big as You need.

Ps.

zero goes for no timeout.

Thanks Vash. But I am getting .NET exception. If I am running the same stored procedure in SQL Server Managaement studio, it is allowing me to run that for the number of hours I want.

You can set the timeout in your connection string with "connect Timeout = 100000000;" or whatever you want your timeout to be

Can I put connection timeout in App.Config file?
Zerotoinfinite
No, you can't. This will have absolutely no effect. Command Timeout in connection string is ignored.

It works for me. You put it in your connection string, which is p in app.config or web.config if you set it up through a visual studio tool
