Begins an asynchronous request for a file system resource.

public:
 override IAsyncResult ^ BeginGetResponse(AsyncCallback ^ callback, System::Object ^ state);

public override IAsyncResult BeginGetResponse (AsyncCallback? callback, object? state);

public override IAsyncResult BeginGetResponse (AsyncCallback callback, object state);

override this.BeginGetResponse : AsyncCallback * obj -> IAsyncResult

Public Overrides Function BeginGetResponse (callback As AsyncCallback, state As Object) As IAsyncResult

Parameters

callback: AsyncCallback

The AsyncCallback delegate.

state: Object

An object that contains state information for this request.

Returns

IAsyncResult

An IAsyncResult that references the asynchronous request.

Exceptions

InvalidOperationException

The stream is already in use by a previous call to BeginGetResponse(AsyncCallback, Object).

WebException

The FileWebRequest was aborted.

Examples

The following code example uses the BeginGetResponse method to asynchronously access a file system resource.

public ref class RequestDeclare
{
public:
   FileWebRequest^ myFileWebRequest;
   RequestDeclare()
   {
      myFileWebRequest = nullptr;
   }

};

ref class FileWebRequest_resbeginend
{
public:
   static ManualResetEvent^ allDone = gcnew ManualResetEvent( false );
   static void RespCallback( IAsyncResult^ ar )
   {
      
      // State of request is asynchronous.
      RequestDeclare^ requestDeclare = dynamic_cast<RequestDeclare^>(ar->AsyncState);
      FileWebRequest^ myFileWebRequest = requestDeclare->myFileWebRequest;
      
      // End the Asynchronus request by calling the 'EndGetResponse()' method.
      FileWebResponse^ myFileWebResponse = dynamic_cast<FileWebResponse^>(myFileWebRequest->EndGetResponse( ar ));
      
      // Reade the response into Stream.
      StreamReader^ streamReader = gcnew StreamReader( myFileWebResponse->GetResponseStream() );
      array<Char>^readBuffer = gcnew array<Char>(256);
      int count = streamReader->Read( readBuffer, 0, 256 );
      Console::WriteLine( "The contents of the file are :\n" );
      while ( count > 0 )
      {
         String^ str = gcnew String( readBuffer,0,count );
         Console::WriteLine( str );
         count = streamReader->Read( readBuffer, 0, 256 );
      }

      streamReader->Close();
      
      // Release the response Object* resources.

Remarks

The asynchronous callback method that implements the AsyncCallback delegate uses the EndGetResponse method to return the actual FileWebResponse.
