Property Value

An Int32 value that represents the time-out, in milliseconds, with no default.

Remarks

If a response takes longer than the value specified in ConnectTimeout the request is canceled.

When you try to connect to a server that has multiple IP addresses (multi-homed), the time-out is counted as cumulative for all of the IP addresses on the server. For example, if a server has two IP addresses, spending 500ms on the first IP and 500ms on the second IP equals a time-out value of 1000ms for the server.

The maximum time-out allowed is 360 seconds. For recommendations on setting this time-out value, see "Optimizing Connectivity" in the SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP1 Books Online.
