Time limiting a method in C#

Question

I have a Game framework where there is a list of Bots who implement IBotInterface. These bots are custom made by user with the only limitation that they must implement the inter

I think the only problem is an inverted conditional. You should call EndInvoke only if the task completed successfully.

Rough suggestion:

var goodBots = new List();
var results = new IAsyncResult[Bots.Count];
var events = new WaitHandle[Bots.Count];
int i = 0;
foreach (IBot bot in Bots) {
    NewGame del = bot.NewGame;
    results[i] = del.BeginInvoke(Info, null, null);
    events[i++] = r.AsyncWaitHandle;
}
WaitAll(events, RoundLimit);
var goodBots = new List();
for( i = 0; i < events.Count; i++ ) {
    if (results[i].IsCompleted) {
        goodBots.Add(Bots[i]);
        EndInvoke(results[i]);
        results[i].Dispose();
    }
    else {
        WriteLine("bot " + i.ToString() + " eliminated by timeout.");
    }
}
Bots = goodBots;

Even better would be to explicitly spin up a thread for each bot, that way you could suspend the misbehaving bots (or dial down their priority) so that they don't continue to steal CPU time from the good bots.
