How to give users a certain time to enter something? (VB.Net)

I'm making a speed game in VB.Net (Console Application) and users have a certain time to press a certain key. So how can I give the Console.ReadKey 开发者_开发知识库function a timeout without just waiting until a key was pressed?

You should use a timer. When the user selects the correct key you can disable it. If the user is to then choose a different key you can just reset it.
