Socket.ReceiveTimeout and Socket.SendTimeout should do the trick anyway if you are programming a socket listener then you`d have nothing to worry about timeouts if you do it asynchronously Johnny.

you must use connect timeout read timeout or such params for the socket component otherwise the connect attempt will last forever (INFINITE) and hung your appy ;) Johnny!
