Add this to your Web Config

<system.web>
    <httpRuntime executionTimeout="180" />
</system.web>

Optional TimeSpan attribute.

Specifies the maximum number of seconds that a request is allowed to execute before being automatically shut down by ASP.NET.

This time-out applies only if the debug attribute in the compilation element is False. To help to prevent shutting down the application while you are debugging, do not set this time-out to a large value.

The default is "00:01:50" (110 seconds).
