When the SQLCommand.CommandTimeout is set to zero, you expect an infinite timeout. However, versions 1.1 and 1.0 of the SqlClient provider incorrectly timeout when a response from SQL Server is broken into two packets. Immediately upon receipt of the second packet, versions 1.1 and 1.0 of the provider incorrectly timeout. The fix that is included in this article fixes this issue so that the command will have an infinite timeout.
