When I try to add a timeout period to an httpsocket, I get "this

Tried it with parentheses, too. In both cases it works fine
without the integer parameter.
There are two different ways to use the HTTPSocket. The first access
the data and store it directly into a string:
Dim s As String = HTTPSocket1.Get("http://www.realsoftware.com";,

Notice that while the above uses a timeout, it is returning the value
to a string. This is the primary difference. So all you need to do
to get your above code to work is:
Me.Get url
That is it... notice that it is not returning the value to anything.
This second method uses the events in the HTTPSocket... and a time
out period is not necessary since an Error event will fire as soon as
possible if the server does not respond. In all my working with
HTTPSocket, I have never actually seen a server connect and then stop
responding although I know that it is possible. In my projects I do
have a Timer connected to the HTTPSocket to force the timeout in this
rare occurrence, but like I said I have never actually seen this
error occur in one of my projects.
