Timeout isn't supported as part of HttpWebRequest in Silverlight / Windows Phone 7.

You'll need to create a Timer and start that at the same time you start the request. If the timer fires before the HWR returns then Abort() the request and assume it timed out.

For more details and an example, see: HttpWebRequest Timeout in WP7 not working with timer
