This article explains about executing a function within a time limit. Also includes a helper class which helps to implement timeout functions easily. This article deals with running multiple timeout processes each with time limit.
namespace TimeoutFunctions
{
    using System;
    using System.Threading;

    public class DataCarrier
    {
        const double ABORT_WAIT_SECONDS = 1;

        public DataCarrier(object userState, WaitCallback methodToExecute, TimeSpan timeOut)
            : this(userState, methodToExecute, timeOut, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(ABORT_WAIT_SECONDS)) {

        }

        public DataCarrier(object userState, WaitCallback methodToExecute, TimeSpan timeOut,
            TimeSpan abortWaitTime) {

            this.userState = userState;
            this.methodToExecute = methodToExecute;
            this.timeOut = timeOut;
            this.abortWaitTime = abortWaitTime;
        }

        private object userState;
        public object UserState {
            get { return userState; }
        }

        private WaitCallback methodToExecute;
        public WaitCallback MethodToExecute {
            get { return methodToExecute; }
        }

        private TimeSpan timeOut;
        public TimeSpan TimeOut {
            get { return timeOut; }
            set { timeOut = value; }
        }

        private TimeSpan abortWaitTime;
        public TimeSpan AbortWaitTime {
            get { return abortWaitTime; }
            set { abortWaitTime = value; }
        }
    }
}
