You can set this programmatically in the controller -  HttpContext Current Server ScriptTimeout   300    Sets the timeout to 5 minutes instead of the default 110 seconds  what an odd default

lt location path  ControllerName ActionName  gt       lt system web gt           lt httpRuntime executionTimeout  1000   gt       lt  system web gt   lt  location gt    Probably it is better to set such values in web config instead of controller  Hardcoding of configurable options is considered harmful
