Timeout on system net webclient

[Jon]

Hi
using vb.net/vis studio 2003

Im using system net webclient to pull data from some other web sites, works
well with 1 but - I'd like to be able to set a short timeout on the request.
There doesn't to be a timeout property - I used to use msxml2.serverxmlhttp
under asp which allowed setting a timeout. Is it possible to use asp
components with .net or is there a better to do this?

Cheers,
Jon
