38,490 PointsEF Timeout after 3 mins
When I run my application and it's about 3 min in the background I am getting this SqlException:
SqlException: Connection Timeout Expired. The timeout period elapsed while attempting to consume the pre-login handshake acknowledgement. This could be because the pre-login handshake failed or the server was unable to respond back in time. The duration spent while attempting to connect to this server was - [Pre-Login] initialization=15842; handshake=562;
How can I make the Connection last longer to avoid this Exception?

If you show your code or provide a snapshot link, someone might be able to help spot the issue.
