HttpWebRequest.EndGetResponse Method

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Ends an asynchronous request to an Internet resource.

Namespace: System.Net
Assembly: System.Net (in System.Net.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Overrides Function EndGetResponse ( _
    asyncResult As IAsyncResult _
) As WebResponse

public override WebResponse EndGetResponse(
    IAsyncResult asyncResult
)

Parameters

asyncResult
Type: System.IAsyncResult
The pending request for a response.

Return Value

Type: System.Net.WebResponse
A WebResponse that contains the response from the Internet resource.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	asyncResult is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
InvalidOperationException	This method was called previously using asyncResult.
NotImplementedException	This method is not implemented.
WebException	Abort was previously called. -or- An error occurred while processing the request.
ArgumentException	asyncResult was not returned by the current instance from a call to BeginGetResponse.

Remarks

The EndGetResponse method completes an asynchronous request for an Internet resource that was started by calling the BeginGetResponse method.

Caution:
You must call the WebResponse method to close the stream and release the connection. Failure to do so may cause your application to run out of connections.

Examples

public class RequestState
{
  // This class stores the State of the request.
  const int BUFFER_SIZE = 1024;
  public StringBuilder requestData;
  public byte[] BufferRead;
  public HttpWebRequest request;
  public HttpWebResponse response;
  public Stream streamResponse;

  public RequestState()
  {
    BufferRead = new byte[BUFFER_SIZE];
    requestData = new StringBuilder("");
    request = null;
    streamResponse = null;
  }
}
