How to set Command Timeout in Crystal report while calling from C# code

Question

I am using Crystal report XI R2.  I am calling SQL server 2005 stored procedure as source in the report. I want the report should timeout from the website if the stored procedure doesn't return resultset after 5 minute. Could you please assist how should I chnage the below code to achieve that.
Code :
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

        protected CrystalReportViewer Crv;
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
            rd = new ReportDocument();
            rd.Load(Request.MapPath("FXRate.rpt"));
            SetDBLogonForReport(GetCrvConnectionInfo(), rd);

Yes it is possible to use datasets. resources listed below. One hting to be aware of; Using datasets larger than about 5,000 records (depending on the report) is not advisable. Performance will potentially be an issue with datasets that are too large.
