Is there a way to increase the timeout value for Dynamics CRM server invocation?
var before = DateTime.Now;
     var crm = new Stub.Xrm.MyDataContext("MyCRM");
     var contact = crm.contacts.FirstOrDefault();
     var span = new TimeSpan(DateTime.Now.Ticks-before.Ticks);
     Console.WriteLine("The name is " + contact.name);
     Console.WriteLine("It took " + span.Seconds + " seconds to run this program " );
