HttpWebRequest.ConnectionGroupName Property

Definition

Gets or sets the name of the connection group for the request.

C#
public override string? ConnectionGroupName { get; set; }
C#
public override string ConnectionGroupName { get; set; }

Property Value

The name of the connection group for this request. The default value is null.

Remarks

Caution

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

The ConnectionGroupName property enables you to associate a request with a connection group. This is useful when your application makes requests to one server for different users, such as a web site that retrieves customer information from a database server.

Notes to Inheritors

Each connection group creates additional connections for a server. This may result in exceeding the number of connections set by the ConnectionLimit property for that server.
