set timer for return value

Question

How can I setup a timer to call a method if it expires before receiving a return value?

                myTimer.Interval = 100000;
                bool status = methodReturningValue();
                myTimer.Start();

                if (status == true && myTimer.expired == false)
                    // Do Something
                else
                    // So Something Else

this is just something I typed up to give you an idea of what I would like to accomplish, I hope it makes sense.

I guess I could try something like:

                Timer myTimer = new Timer();
                myTimer.Interval = 100000;
                myTimer.Enabled;
                myTimer.Start();
                myTimer.Tick += new EventHandler(Method(args));

but that just seems sloppy, there has to be a better way...
