To exit out of a method before it has completed, just do a:

return;

Call SSIS in a worker thread.  Spawn your sentinel thread.  If the
Sentinel thread finishes before the SSIS thread then kill the SSIS
thread from you main thread.

If you are not actually doing anything in your main thread then you
might be able to replace the sentinel thread with a simple timer in
the main thread.

I often do something like this:

using System;

using System.Threading;



namespace CSConsole

{

      class Program

      {

             static void Main()

             {

                    Console.WriteLine("Monitor thread starting worker thread.");



                    Thread thread = new Thread(ThreadProc);

                    thread.Start();





                    Console.WriteLine("Monitor thread watching worker for time out.");

                    if (!thread.Join(5000))

                    {

                          Console.WriteLine("Monitor thread determines worker has timed out and calls abort.");

                          thread.Abort(); // thread timed out

                    }

                   

                    Console.WriteLine("Monitor thread waits until worker thread is cleaned up.");

                    // wait until thread is done

                    thread.Join(-1);



                    Console.WriteLine("Monitor thread done. Press a key to quit.");

                    Console.ReadLine();

             }



             static void ThreadProc()

             {

                    try

                    {

                          Console.WriteLine("Worker thread is doing work.");

                          // my bad thread is locked up

                          while (true)

                          {

                                 Thread.Sleep(0);

                          }

                    }

                    catch (ThreadAbortException)

                    {

                          Console.WriteLine("Worker thread received abort signal.");

                    }

                    finally

                    {

                           Console.WriteLine("Worker thread cleaning up.");

                    }

             }

      }

}
