// Create a Uri object.
Uri^ myUrl = gcnew Uri( String::Format( "file://{0}", fileName ) );

// Create a FileWebRequest object.
myFileWebRequest = dynamic_cast<FileWebRequest^>(WebRequest::CreateDefault( myUrl ));

// Set the timeout to the value selected by the user.
myFileWebRequest->Timeout = timeout;

// Create a Uri object.
Uri myUrl = new Uri ("file://" + fileName);

// Create a FileWebRequest object.
myFileWebRequest = (FileWebRequest)WebRequest.CreateDefault (myUrl);

// Set the time-out to the value selected by the user.
myFileWebRequest.Timeout = timeout;

' Create a Uri object.to access the file requested by the user. 
Dim myUrl As New Uri("file://" + fileName)

' Create a FileWebRequest object.for the requeste file.
myFileWebRequest = CType(WebRequest.CreateDefault(myUrl), FileWebRequest)

' Set the time-out to the value selected by the user.
myFileWebRequest.Timeout = timeout

Remarks

A Domain Name System (DNS) query may take up to 15 seconds to return or time out. If your request contains a host name that requires resolution and you set Timeout to a value less than 15 seconds, it may take 15 seconds or more before a WebException is thrown to indicate a time-out on your request.
