As you are probably using a SqlCommand for calling the query, you can specify the timeout for that one:

C#

using (SqlConnection cn = new SqlConnection(Configuration.DefaultConnectionString))
{
    using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(query, cn))
    {
        cmd.CommandTimeout = 60;
        cn.Open();
        ...

Or specify the timeout for the connection in the web.config (which I will not recommend).

Solution 3

You can set the Connection Timeout=value(may be in sec or millisec can't remember) in connection string for the long running query to achieve this
best of luck.....

Solution 4

If you give cmd.CommandTimeOut = 0 .Your client API will never time out form SQLSERVER.It will last until the operation is got over.
