Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding

I'm not sure if this is a VB.NET error or SQL Server. But I get the above error with following stack trace:

[SqlException (0x80131904): Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.]

This is on Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50727.3620; ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.3618 and SQL Server 2008. The line it flags causing this error says:

1: PrintMessageGrid.DataSource = GlobalFunctions.GlobalF.GetComplaintTrendingList6(FirstMonthDate, LastMonthDate, TheLevel) 

Even though I can run this stored procedure in Query Analyzer and it returns in 8 seconds. What could be the cause and fix?

Here's more detail where I declare this function:

Public Shared Function GetComplaintTrendingList6(ByVal FirstMonth As DateTime, ByVal LastMonth As DateTime, ByVal rowLevel As Integer) As DataSet
    Dim DSPageData As New System.Data.DataSet
    Dim param(2) As SqlClient.SqlParameter

    param(0) = New SqlParameter("@FirstMonthDate", SqlDbType.DateTime)
    param(0).Value = FirstMonth
    param(1) = New SqlParameter("@LastMonthDate", SqlDbType.DateTime)
    param(1).Value = LastMonth
    param(2) = New SqlParameter("@TheLevel", SqlDbType.Int)
    param(2).Value = rowLevel

    ''# A Using block will ensure the .Dispose() method is called for these variables, even if an exception is thrown 
    ''# This is IMPORTANT - not disposing your connections properly can result in an unrespsonsive database 
    Using conn As New SQLConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("AMDMetricsDevConnectionString")), _
   cmd As New SQLCommand("ComplaintTrendingList6", conn), _
    da As New SQLDataAdapter(cmd)
        cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
        cmd.Parameters.AddRange(param)

        da.Fill(DSPageData)
    End Using

    Return DSPageData
End Function

The strange thing is that if I make this small change in my stored proc, it passes, but doesn't give me the data I want: No error, but this version doesn't give me what I want:

SELECT E.PRODUCT_GROUP, a.QXP_SHORT_DESC, COUNT(DISTINCT A.QXP_EXCEPTION_NO), A.QXP_REPORT_DATE, DATEADD(M, DATEDIFF(M, 0, A.QXP_REPORT_DATE), 0) AS STARTDATE
FROM ALL_COMPLAINTS A

INNER JOIN CT_ProductFailures b ON b.old_modes = a.qxp_short_desc

WHERE   --[LEVEL] > 0 AND

and A.QXP_REPORT_DATE >= @OneYearAgo AND A.QXP_REPORT_DATE <= @LastMonthDate
AND (C.QXP_EXCEPTION_TYPE <> 'Non-Diagnostic' OR C.QXP_EXCEPTION_TYPE IS NULL)  
GROUP BY E.PRODUCT_GROUP, A.QXP_REPORT_DATE,  A.QXP_SHORT_DESC 

Error-causing stored proc:

You need to increase the command timeout on the select command of the dataadapter.

Below is the code to increase the command timeout for dataadapter.

adapter.SelectCommand.CommandTimeout = 0;

SQL Connection timeout is different from timeout set for the Command that is executed.

It is defined as follows. From MSDN

Gets the time to wait while trying to establish a connection before terminating the attempt and generating an error.

On setting the connection timeout.. from MSDN

You can set the amount of time a connection waits to time out by using the ConnectTimeout or Connection Timeout keywords in the connection string. A value of 0 indicates no limit, and should be avoided in a ConnectionString because an attempt to connect waits indefinitely.

Default value for all timeouts is 30 secs.

I believe that means the database operation took too long and it gave up.

Try adding a Connect Timeout in the web.config

<add key="DBConnection" value="server=LocalHost;uid=sa;pwd=;database=DataBaseName;Connect Timeout=200; pooling='true'; Max Pool Size=200"/>

What you get with the Query Analyzer (or SSMS, these days) and what you application gets can be very different things, mostly due to parameter sniffing.

I suggest reading this article by Erland Sommarskog for a details.

"..database operation took too long and it gave up."

This is correct. This happens when there's a conflict with your connection to the server.

To temporarily resolve this..

"Repair your LAN connection"

You can do this by right-clicking on your connection and clicking "REPAIR"

To permanently resolve this..

There shouldn't be a combination of static and dynamic ip addresses in your workgroup. If you want to set a static group, do not include dynamic connections - vice versa.

After that, there shouldn't be an error displaying "Timeout Expired" anymore.

cheers!
