Windows Service SQL timeout exception

Question

I have a Windows service which continuously each 10 seconds queries the SQL Server database table, and I also have a web site which also queries the same database table after 25 seconds.

After some time I get exception - server timeout exception has occurred. I went through stack-overflow site and has done the changes to SQL configuration settings but still I got the same exception. What to do?

Show me the code! timeout exception usually are because you don't close the database connection.

try add the code in the final of algorithm

if (connection.State == System.Data.ConnectionState.Open)
    {
        connection.Close();
        connection.Dispose();
    }

If you use to EnterpriseLibrary, try add more time to commandTimeOut

DbCommand dbcommand = database.GetStoredProcCommand("usp_TheStoredProcedureName");
dbcommand.CommandTimeout = 120;
