Hello everyone,<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;I am looking for a solution to a C# WebClient timeout issue. <br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;WebClient appears to have no way of timing out.<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Currently using Thread.Start to launch methods which call WebClient, using Thread.Join(MILLISECONDS) for a timeout.<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Using Thread.Start feels like overkill for my needs.<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; (I am hitting 100's of devices using credentials and a simple HTTP request and simply need a way to timeout within 10 seconds)<br />
Thanks :)

Hello everyone,
           I am looking for a solution to a C# WebClient timeout issue. 
           WebClient appears to have no way of timing out.

c# WebClient timeout

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
