GetStringAsync(String)
- Source:

Send a GET request to the specified Uri and return the response body as a string in an asynchronous operation.
public:
System::Threading::Tasks::Task<System::String ^> ^ GetStringAsync(System::String ^ requestUri);public System.Threading.Tasks.Task<string> GetStringAsync (string requestUri);public System.Threading.Tasks.Task<string> GetStringAsync (string? requestUri);member this.GetStringAsync : string -> System.Threading.Tasks.Task<string>Public Function GetStringAsync (requestUri As String) As Task(Of String)Parameters
- requestUri
- String
The Uri the request is sent to.
Returns
The task object representing the asynchronous operation.
Exceptions
The requestUri must be an absolute URI or BaseAddress must be set.
The request failed due to an underlying issue such as network connectivity, DNS failure, server certificate validation (or timeout for .NET Framework only).
.NET Core and .NET 5 and later only: The request failed due to timeout.
The provided request URI is not valid relative or absolute URI.
Remarks
This operation will not block. The returned Task<TResult> object will complete after the whole response body is read.
Note
In case of a timeout:
- .NET Framework throws a HttpRequestException.
- .NET Core throws a TaskCanceledException without any inner exception.
- .NET 5 and later versions throw a TaskCanceledException that nests a TimeoutException.
