I got error "System.Web.HttpException: Request timed out"
SUMMARY
By default, the value of the executionTimeout attribute
is set to 90 seconds in the Machine.config file. This error occurs when the
processing time exceeds 90 seconds.
SOLUTION
To work around this problem, increase the time-out value that is set for the
executionTimeout attribute in the configuration file.
The executionTimeout attribute exists under httpRequest
in the Machine.config file. You can change these settings either in the
Web.Config file or in the Machine.config file. The default value for the
time-out is 90 seconds. The executionTimeout attribute
indicates the maximum number of seconds a request is permitted to run before
being shut down by the ASP.NET Web application.
