The following example first displays the contents of a connection string that does not specify the "Connect Timeout" value, sets the ConnectTimeout property, and then displays the new connection string.

using System.Data.SqlClient;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        try
        {
            string connectString =
                "Server=(local);Initial Catalog=AdventureWorks;" +
                "Integrated Security=true";
            SqlConnectionStringBuilder builder =
                new SqlConnectionStringBuilder(connectString);
            Console.WriteLine("Original: " + builder.ConnectionString);
            Console.WriteLine("ConnectTimeout={0}",
                builder.ConnectTimeout);
            builder.ConnectTimeout = 100;
            Console.WriteLine("Modified: " + builder.ConnectionString);

            Console.WriteLine("Press any key to finish.");
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
        }
    }
}

Imports System.Data.SqlClient
    
Module Module1

    Sub Main()
        Try
            Dim connectString As String = _
             "Server=(local);Initial Catalog=AdventureWorks;" & _
             "Integrated Security=True"
            Dim builder As New SqlConnectionStringBuilder(connectString)
            Console.WriteLine("Original: " & builder.ConnectionString)
            Console.WriteLine("ConnectTimeout={0}", _
                builder.ConnectTimeout)
            builder.ConnectTimeout = 100
            Console.WriteLine("Modified: " & builder.ConnectionString)

            Console.WriteLine("Press any key to finish.")
            Console.ReadLine()

        Catch ex As Exception
            Console.WriteLine(ex.Message)
        End Try
    End Sub
