Kevin,

You are right, CommandTimeout is always zero with SqlCE. When I step through the framework code, I get to the code:

public virtual object ExecScalar(IDbCommand command)
{
object Scalar;
command.CommandTimeout = this.CommandTimeout;

in the mmDataAccessBase class. When this code attempts to execute, an exception is thrown since SqlCE will not allow CommandTimeout to be changed. It is zero when I arrive at this code, but the framework's base class is attempting to set it to 30. Let me know what you think.

Thanks,

Mat
