You mean besides using the ConnectionString "Connection timeout=xx;" option?

Be aware that the Connection Timeout value is "at least" x instead of "at
most" x seconds. We will not automatically abort the connection attempt when
the timeout is reached. Think of a loop:

Try to connect loop:
If time is greater than Connection Timeout exit.
call win32 api; //this can take some time.
End try to connect loop.

In this scenario your worst case connection timeout will be Connection
Timeout -1 + time it takes to do win32 api call. In some cases, like a
server that is down this can add up to a significant chunk of time.
