Hi,

AFAIK you need to set it on each Command object. One way to set it for all commands is to have a method that creates all commands: e.g:

SqlCommand GetSQLCommand(SqlConnection conn)
{
   SqlCommand com = conn.CreateCommand();
  com.CommandTimeout = GetTimeoutValueFromWebConfig();
  return com;
}
