Locked on calling a method that never returns

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I have a WPF/C# app that calls a DLL method that never returns. Basically, this method I call creates a connection with ArcNet protocol and returns a memory address on a board.

Problem is when there is no ArcNet, my calling method just sits there and I'm stuck.

What I want to do, is call the method and if I don't get something back within 500ms, I continue on, or in this case, throw an error and continue on.

Thanks,
