How to set page/script timeout on an asp.net page

The solution is pretty simple. Use Server.ScriptTimeout to set the timeout for the script in a page. The value is measured in seconds.

Server.ScriptTimeout = 3600

Use this in Page_Load event. The example makes the timeout to be an hour.

NOTE: using compilation debug="true" will ignore script timeout and it won't work. Make sure the debug value is false on the release version of web.config
