C# WebClient with Timeout to get the HTML of a remote page

Sometimes you just need a simple WebClient to get back the results from an HTTP Post, but you need to set the timeout, this is how to do that.

public class TimeoutWebClient : WebClient
    {
        public int Timeout { get; set; }

        public TimeoutWebClient()
        {
            Timeout = 60000;
        }

        public TimeoutWebClient(int timeout)
        {
            Timeout = timeout;
        }

        protected override WebRequest GetWebRequest(Uri address)
        {
            WebRequest request = base.GetWebRequest(address);
            request.Timeout = Timeout;
            return request;
        }
    }

and call like

 TimeoutWebClient client = new TimeoutWebClient { Timeout = 5000 };
 var htmlText = client.DownloadString(url);
