Set database timeout in Entity Framework

Question

My command keeps timing out, so I need to change the default command timeout value.

I\'ve found myDb.Database.Connection.ConnectionTimeout, but it\'s

Answer 1

My partial context looks like:

public partial class MyContext : DbContext
{
    public MyContext (string ConnectionString)
        : base(ConnectionString)
    {
        this.SetCommandTimeOut(300);
    }

    public void SetCommandTimeOut(int Timeout)
    {
        var objectContext = (this as IObjectContextAdapter).ObjectContext;
        objectContext.CommandTimeout = Timeout;
    }
}

I left SetCommandTimeOut public so only the routines I need to take a long time (more than 5 minutes) I modify instead of a global timeout.
