How do I put a timeout in the method listes in a socket to be closed
in 30 seconds? thanks!!

If you search this newsgroup for past discussions involving "socket" and
"timeout", you'll see the answers that have been posted previously.

The short version is: set a timer and close the socket after the desired
timeout occurs.

Or use BeginXYZ version of the function along with WaitHandle.WaitAny and a
TimeSpan. Then you can pass in other WaitHandle objects at the same time,
like a cancel ManualResetEvent (which could even be set from a different
process). Of course you'll still need to close the socket if the operation
didn't finish in time / user requested cancel.
