public delegate void DownloadDataCompletedEventHandler(object sender, DownloadDataCompletedEventArgs e);

type DownloadDataCompletedEventHandler = delegate of obj * DownloadDataCompletedEventArgs -> unit

Public Delegate Sub DownloadDataCompletedEventHandler(sender As Object, e As DownloadDataCompletedEventArgs)

Parameters

sender

Object

Examples

The following code example demonstrates downloading a user-specified resource.

// Sample call : DownLoadDataInBackground ("http://www.contoso.com/GameScores.html");
void DownloadDataInBackground( String^ address )
{
   System::Threading::AutoResetEvent^ waiter = gcnew System::Threading::AutoResetEvent( false );
   WebClient^ client = gcnew WebClient;
   Uri ^uri = gcnew Uri(address);

   // Specify that the DownloadDataCallback method gets called
   // when the download completes.
   client->DownloadDataCompleted += gcnew DownloadDataCompletedEventHandler( DownloadDataCallback );
   client->DownloadDataAsync( uri, waiter );

   // Block the main application thread. Real applications
   // can perform other tasks while waiting for the download to complete.
   waiter->WaitOne();
}

// Sample call : DownLoadDataInBackground ("http://www.contoso.com/GameScores.html");
public static void DownloadDataInBackground(string address)
{
    System.Threading.AutoResetEvent waiter = new System.Threading.AutoResetEvent(false);
    WebClient client = new WebClient();
    Uri uri = new Uri(address);

    // Specify that the DownloadDataCallback method gets called
    // when the download completes.
    client.DownloadDataCompleted += new DownloadDataCompletedEventHandler(DownloadDataCallback);
    client.DownloadDataAsync(uri, waiter);

    // Block the main application thread. Real applications
    // can perform other tasks while waiting for the download to complete.
    waiter.WaitOne();
}

'  Sample call : DownLoadDataInBackground ("http:' www.contoso.com/GameScores.html")
Public Shared Sub DownloadDataInBackground(ByVal address As String)

    Dim waiter As System.Threading.AutoResetEvent = New System.Threading.AutoResetEvent(False)
    Dim client As WebClient = New WebClient()

    '  Specify that the DownloadDataCallback method gets called
    '  when the download completes.
    AddHandler client.DownloadDataCompleted, AddressOf DownloadDataCallback
                Dim uri as Uri = New Uri(address)
    client.DownloadDataAsync(uri, waiter)

    '  Block the main application thread. Real applications
    '  can perform other tasks while waiting for the download to complete.
    waiter.WaitOne()
End Sub

The following method is called when the download completes.

void DownloadDataCallback( Object^ /*sender*/, DownloadDataCompletedEventArgs^ e )
{
   System::Threading::AutoResetEvent^ waiter = dynamic_cast<System::Threading::AutoResetEvent^>(e->UserState);
   try
   {

      // If the request was not canceled and did not throw
      // an exception, display the resource.
      if (  !e->Cancelled && e->Error == nullptr )
      {
         array<Byte>^data = dynamic_cast<array<Byte>^>(e->Result);
         String^ textData = System::Text::Encoding::UTF8->GetString( data );
         Console::WriteLine( textData );
      }
   }
   finally
   {

      // Let the main application thread resume.
      waiter->Set();
   }

}

private static void DownloadDataCallback(Object sender, DownloadDataCompletedEventArgs e)
{
    System.Threading.AutoResetEvent waiter = (System.Threading.AutoResetEvent)e.UserState;

    try
    {
        // If the request was not canceled and did not throw
        // an exception, display the resource.
        if (!e.Cancelled && e.Error == null)
        {
            byte[] data = (byte[])e.Result;
            string textData = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(data);

            Console.WriteLine(textData);
        }
    }
    finally
    {
        // Let the main application thread resume.
        waiter.Set();
    }
}

Private Shared Sub DownloadDataCallback(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DownloadDataCompletedEventArgs)

    Dim waiter As System.Threading.AutoResetEvent = CType(e.UserState, System.Threading.AutoResetEvent)

    Try

        '  If the request was not canceled and did not throw
        '  an exception, display the resource.
        If e.Cancelled = False AndAlso e.Error Is Nothing Then

            Dim data() As Byte = CType(e.Result, Byte())
            Dim textData As String = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(data)

            Console.WriteLine(textData)
        End If
    Finally

        '  Let the main application thread resume.
        waiter.Set()
    End Try
End Sub

Remarks

When you create a DownloadDataCompletedEventHandler delegate, you identify the method that will handle the event. To associate the event with your event handler, add an instance of the delegate to the event. The event handler is called whenever the event occurs, unless you remove the delegate. For more information about event handler delegates, see Handling and Raising Events.

Extension Methods
