Max Execution Time on Thread

You can use the WaitHandle.WaitOne overload that takes a timespan /
milliseconds parameter as a simplified thread / method execution timeout
mechanism.

How can I set the max execution time on a thread? I would like to throw
an exception or indicate a failure if a thread runs longer than x seconds.

Thanks,
