I would like to set the ConnectionTimeout to something other than the default, which is 15 seconds. I have inherited some code that uses EntityFramework and the app.config looks like this:
<configuration>
<configSections>
<section name="entityFramework" type="System.Data.Entity.Internal.ConfigFile.EntityFrameworkSection, EntityFramework, Version=5.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" requirePermission="false" />
</configSections>
<connectionStrings>
<add name="DefaultConnection" connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS; Integrated Security=True; ConnectionTimeout=30; MultipleActiveResultSets=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
<entityFramework>
<defaultConnectionFactory type="System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.SqlConnectionFactory, EntityFramework">
<parameters>
<parameter value="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS; Integrated Security=True; ConnectionTimeout=30; MultipleActiveResultSets=True" />
</parameters>
</defaultConnectionFactory>
</entityFramework>
I'm the one who added the sectino in an attempt to get things working. I can tell it's not working be setting a breakpoint at:
var adapter = (IObjectContextAdapter) this;
var objectContext = adapter.ObjectContext;
objectContext.CommandTimeout = CommandTimeoutSeconds;
int test = objectContext.Connection.ConnectionTimeout;
test is always 15. What is going on? Can someone tell me how to set ConnectionTimeout? I have tried both "ConnectionTimeout" and "Connection Timeout" I.e. no space vs. space.
Can someone help me? I'm pulling my hair out. I'm sure it's a simple fix! Dave
Additional info. In response to comment, here is my DbContext derived class...
public class SessionDataContext : DbContext
{
// Command timeout (seconds)
private const int CommandTimeoutSeconds = 30;
/// <summary>
/// Constructor that takes db name.
/// The connection string and db itself is configured in the this project's app.config file
/// </summary>
/// <param name="dbName"></param>
public SessionDataContext(string dbName) : base(dbName)
{
Database.SetInitializer(new SessionDataContextInitializer());
// Set timeout (based on code from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6232633/entity-framework-timeouts)
var adapter = (IObjectContextAdapter) this;
var objectContext = adapter.ObjectContext;
objectContext.CommandTimeout = CommandTimeoutSeconds;
int test = objectContext.Connection.ConnectionTimeout;
}
/// <summary>
/// Session table's records
/// </summary>
public DbSet<Session> Sessions { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// SessionType table's records
/// </summary>
public DbSet<SessionType> SessionTypes { get; set; }
}
