Connection Pool Error

Hello,
I'm having a recurring error whenever I try to debug a
asp.net web page is retrieving data from a SQL server.
The error msg is:
"Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to
obtaining a connection from the pool. This may have
occurred because all pooled connections were in use and
max pool size was reached."
Any ideas?There were some connection pooling problems in the earlier versions of .NET.
Have you applied the .NET service packs to your boxes?

ADO.Net is not my best game, but I know that there are pitfalls, so
if you are not careful, you will fill up your connection pool. One
way to diagnose this is to run sp_who from Query Analyzer, and see
how many connections you have open. If you think you have none,
but there are hundred you know that 1) you have filled up the pool
2) you have a leak.
Explicitly closing your connections is probably a good idea.
