Property Value

The value of the ConnectTimeout property, or 15 seconds if no value has been supplied.

Examples

The following example first displays the contents of a connection string that does not specify the "Connect Timeout" value, sets the ConnectTimeout property, and then displays the new connection string.

using Microsoft.Data.SqlClient;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        try
        {
            string connectString =
                "Server=(local);Initial Catalog=AdventureWorks;" +
                "Integrated Security=true";
            SqlConnectionStringBuilder builder =
                new SqlConnectionStringBuilder(connectString);
            Console.WriteLine("Original: " + builder.ConnectionString);
            Console.WriteLine("ConnectTimeout={0}",
                builder.ConnectTimeout);
            builder.ConnectTimeout = 100;
            Console.WriteLine("Modified: " + builder.ConnectionString);

            Console.WriteLine("Press any key to finish.");
            Console.ReadLine();

        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
        }
    }
}

Remarks

This property corresponds to the "Connect Timeout", "connection timeout", and "timeout" keys within the connection string.

When opening a connection to a Azure SQL Database, set the connection timeout to 30 seconds.

Valid values are greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 2147483647.
