Assembly: System.Data (in system.data.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Property ConnectionTimeout As Integer

C#
public int ConnectionTimeout { get; set; 
C++

    int get ();
    void set (int value);
J#
/** @property */
public int get_ConnectionTimeout ()

/** @property */
public void set_ConnectionTimeout (int value)
JScript

public function set ConnectionTimeout (value : int)

Property Value

The time in seconds to wait for a connection to open. The default value is 15 seconds.
Exceptions

Exception typeCondition

ArgumentException

The value set is less than 0.

Remarks

Unlike the .NET Framework data providers for SQL Server and OLE DB, the .NET Framework Data Provider for ODBC does not support setting this property as a connection string value, because it is not a valid ODBC connection keyword. To specify a connection time-out, set the ConnectionTimeout property before calling Open. This is equivalent to setting the ODBC SQLSetConnectAttr SQL_ATTR_LOGIN_TIMOUT attribute.
