Increasing the Command Timeout for SQL command

Question

I have a little problem and hoping someone can give me some advice. I am running a SQL command, but it appears it takes this command about 2 mins to return the data as there

Answer 1

Setting command timeout to 2 minutes.

 scGetruntotals.CommandTimeout = 120;

but you can optimize your stored Procedures to decrease that time! like

• removing courser or while and etc
• using paging
• using #tempTable and @variableTable
• optimizing joined tables
