HttpWebRequest.ServicePoint Property

Definition

Namespace:

System.Net

Assembly:

System.Net.Requests.dll

Source:

HttpWebRequest.cs

Gets the service point to use for the request.

public:
 property System::Net::ServicePoint ^ ServicePoint { System::Net::ServicePoint ^ get(); };

public System.Net.ServicePoint ServicePoint { get; }

member this.ServicePoint : System.Net.ServicePoint

Public ReadOnly Property ServicePoint As ServicePoint

Property Value

ServicePoint

A ServicePoint that represents the network connection to the Internet resource.

Examples

void makeWebRequest( int hashCode, String^ Uri )

   // Make sure that the idle time has elapsed, so that a new 
   // ServicePoint instance is created.

Remarks

Caution

WebRequest, HttpWebRequest, ServicePoint, and WebClient are obsolete, and you shouldn't use them for new development. Use HttpClient instead.

The ServicePoint.Address property may be different from HttpWebRequest.Address if the request is redirected.
