Can I set a timeout for a few seconds when connecting to a 3rd party via a form post?
<p>During a form submission, I have to verify something and I don't want to wait for more than a few seconds.</p>

<p>I.e. if I don't get a response within 5-10 seconds, just end the request.</p>

<p>Is this possible and reliable?</p>

<p>I am doing a server side XML post in C#.</p>
