Use the HttpClient class to make your request. It has a TimeOut property you can set to your liking.

You can also use the HttpWebRequest class, and it also have a TimeOut property.

In most cases, HttpClient is the way to go, as it is easier to use and you don't need the level of customization the HttpWebRequest provides.

so you mean to say that there is no way to set timeout if I use HttpWebRequest ?

I'm sorry, i took for granted your affirmation that "httpwebrequest is not available in WinRT". Turns out it is available. I edited my answer accordingly. Anyway, in most cases, use HttpClient: it's far easier to use and can make multiple requests if need be.

to set timeout to your webrequest you need to set HttpWebRequest.Timeout and it's all .

HttpWebRequest myHttpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest) WebRequest.Create("your url"); myHttpWebRequest.Timeout = 1000 ;
