Solution 1:

I don't know if there's any underlying problem, but to solve the timeout issue you can specify the request timeout (in seconds) in the web.config, like this:

<httpRuntime executionTimeout="300" />

For context, here's a complete web.config with just this setting:

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <httpRuntime executionTimeout="300" />
    </system.web>
</configuration>

Solution 2:

Open IIS -> click on the your siteName -> configuration Editor on the Section, scroll to system.web/httpRuntime. Increase the executionTimeout to the time you think it will take to execute your process...

You can also set it in the web.config like the answer above However in my case it work when I do it from IIS.
