we just had an error on our site:
"timeout expired. the timeout period elapsed prior to obtaining a connection from the pool. this may have occurred because all pooled connections were in use and max pool size was reached"
Don't think we've had this before and I just checked the number of users logged in today and it was only about 12 (and 30 yesterday).
after some initial research, i think its suggested we should open and close our connections? is this right? do we need to put something like:
sqlconnection1.Open(); and sqlconnection1.Close(); // in all our connection strings in all asp.net pages?
or conn.Open() and conn.Close()
// in all .vb pages?
All our connections on each page are pretty much like this:
> <asp:SqlDataSource ID="ourID" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:LocalSQLServer %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT ourIDNo FROM dbo.aspnet_ourUsers INNER JOIN dbo.tblourTable ON dbo.aspnet_ourUsers.ourIDNo = dbo.tblourTable.ourIDNo WHERE (dbo.aspnet_ourUsers.UserId = @UserID)"> <SelectParameters> <asp:Parameter Name="UserID" /> </SelectParameters> </asp:SqlDataSource>
I recycled the application pool and it fixed the issue, but not sure what caused it. Any ideas?
thanks.
