Setting ConnectionTimeout when using EntityFramework

Setting ConnectionTimeout when using EntityFramework

I would like to set the ConnectionTimeout to something other than the
default, which is 15 seconds. I have inherited some code that uses
EntityFramework and the app.config looks like this:
<configuration>
<configSections>
<section name="entityFramework"
type="System.Data.Entity.Internal.ConfigFile.EntityFrameworkSection,
EntityFramework, Version=5.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" requirePermission="false" />
</configSections>
<connectionStrings>
<add name="DefaultConnection" connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;
Integrated Security=True; ConnectionTimeout=30;
MultipleActiveResultSets=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
<entityFramework>
<defaultConnectionFactory
type="System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.SqlConnectionFactory,
EntityFramework">
<parameters>
<parameter value="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS; Integrated Security=True;
ConnectionTimeout=30; MultipleActiveResultSets=True" />
</parameters>
</defaultConnectionFactory>
</entityFramework>
I'm the one who added the sectino in an attempt to get things working. I
can tell it's not working be setting a breakpoint at:
var adapter = (IObjectContextAdapter) this;
var objectContext = adapter.ObjectContext;
objectContext.CommandTimeout = CommandTimeoutSeconds;
int test = objectContext.Connection.ConnectionTimeout;
test is always 15. What is going on? Can someone tell me how to set
ConnectionTimeout? I have tried both "ConnectionTimeout" and "Connection
Timeout" I.e. no space vs. space.
Can someone help me? I'm pulling my hair out. I'm sure it's a simple fix!
