xceptions in the callback procedure.

If you use [ ExecuteReader
](system.data.sqlclient.sqlcommand.executereader?view=dotnet-plat-ext-8.0) or
[ BeginExecuteReader
](system.data.sqlclient.sqlcommand.beginexecutereader?view=dotnet-plat-
ext-8.0) to access XML data, SQL Server will return any XML results greater
than 2,033 characters in length in multiple rows of 2,033 characters each. To
avoid this behavior, use [ ExecuteXmlReader
](system.data.sqlclient.sqlcommand.executexmlreader?view=dotnet-plat-ext-8.0)
or [ BeginExecuteXmlReader
](system.data.sqlclient.sqlcommand.beginexecutexmlreader?view=dotnet-plat-
ext-8.0) to read FOR XML queries.

This method ignores the [ CommandTimeout
](system.data.sqlclient.sqlcommand.commandtimeout?view=dotnet-plat-ext-8.0)
property.
