# How to control, how long an Ajax request may last?

Use the ScriptManager's AsyncPostBackTimeout Property. \
For example, if you want to debug a web page but you get an error that the page request has timed out, you may set \
<asp:ScriptManager id="ScriptManager1" runat="server" AsyncPostBackTimeout="8000"/>
