Begins an asynchronous request to an Internet 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

The state object for this request.

Returns

IAsyncResult

An IAsyncResult that references the asynchronous request for a response.

Exceptions

InvalidOperationException

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

-or-

TransferEncoding is set to a value and SendChunked is false.

-or-

The thread pool is running out of threads.

ProtocolViolationException

Method is GET or HEAD, and either ContentLength is greater than zero or SendChunked is true.

-or-

KeepAlive is true, AllowWriteStreamBuffering is false, and either ContentLength is -1, SendChunked is false and Method is POST or PUT.

-or-

The HttpWebRequest has an entity body but the BeginGetResponse(AsyncCallback, Object) method is called without calling the BeginGetRequestStream(AsyncCallback, Object) method.

-or-

The ContentLength is greater than zero, but the application does not write all of the promised data.

WebException

Abort() was previously called.

Examples

The following code example uses the BeginGetResponse method to make an asynchronous request for an Internet resource.

Note

In the case of asynchronous requests, it is the responsibility of the client application to implement its own time-out mechanism. The following code example shows how to do it.

Remarks

Caution

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

The BeginGetResponse method starts an asynchronous request for a response from the Internet resource. The asynchronous callback method uses the EndGetResponse method to return the actual WebResponse.

A ProtocolViolationException is thrown in several cases when the properties set on the HttpWebRequest class are conflicting. This exception occurs if an application sets the ContentLength property and the SendChunked property to true, and then sends an HTTP GET request. This exception occurs if an application tries to send chunked to a server that only supports HTTP 1.0 protocol, where this is not supported. This exception occurs if an application tries to send data without setting the ContentLength property or the SendChunked is false when buffering is disabled and on a keepalive connection (the KeepAlive property is true).

If a WebException is thrown, use the Response and Status properties of the exception to determine the response from the server.

The BeginGetResponse method requires some synchronous setup tasks to complete (DNS resolution, proxy detection, and TCP socket connection, for example) before this method becomes asynchronous. As a result, this method should never be called on a user interface (UI) thread because it might take considerable time (up to several minutes depending on network settings) to complete the initial synchronous setup tasks before an exception for an error is thrown or the method succeeds.

To learn more about the thread pool, see The managed thread pool.

Note

Your application cannot mix synchronous and asynchronous methods for a particular request. If you call the BeginGetRequestStream method, you must use the BeginGetResponse method to retrieve the response.

Note

This member outputs trace information when you enable network tracing in your application. For more information, see Network Tracing in the .NET Framework.
