I have some code that could hang indefinitely, and what I need to do is stop the code from executing if it doesn't execute within n milliseconds. here is an example. //build and construct a socket... // socket code here.... // everything works great.. // but if the socket doesn't get a response back, everything hangs.... socket.ReceiveFrom( UdpPacket, 0, 1024, SocketFlags.None, ref tempRemoteEP ); the socket.ReceiveFrom() method may never actually execute, because it is waiting for a packet back from the UDP (DHCP server) server. What I would like to do is wait for n milliseconds, and if the code doesn't execute, then continue with the execution of the program and handle not getting a response back. What do I need to do, to achieve this?
