See more:

Executing a procedure in SQL takes 50 seconds in getting completed and returns 5000 records.

when I call same procedure using Linq in C#, it throws Timeout Exception, below is the detail.

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.

Please help me how to fix it.

Thanks.

Try setting the timeout on your connection before querying :

I did same and modified connection string in web.config but does not seem to be working

connectionString="Data Source=(local);Initial Catalog=Databasename;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=user;Password=passwd;Connection Timeout=60"

Try a higher value, and also look at this : http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/26283/Change-The-Default-CommandTimeout-of-LINQ-DataCont
