Examples

The following code example demonstrates downloading a string asynchronously.

// Sample call : DownloadStringInBackground2 ("http://www.contoso.com/GameScores.html");
void DownloadStringInBackground2( String^ address )
{
   WebClient^ client = gcnew WebClient;
   Uri ^uri = gcnew Uri(address);

   // Specify that the DownloadStringCallback2 method gets called
   // when the download completes.
   client->DownloadStringCompleted += gcnew DownloadStringCompletedEventHandler( DownloadStringCallback2 );
   client->DownloadStringAsync( uri );
}

// Sample call : DownloadStringInBackground2 ("http://www.contoso.com/GameScores.html");
public static void DownloadStringInBackground2(string address)
{
    WebClient client = new WebClient();
    Uri uri = new Uri(address);

    // Specify that the DownloadStringCallback2 method gets called
    // when the download completes.
    client.DownloadStringCompleted += new DownloadStringCompletedEventHandler(DownloadStringCallback2);
    client.DownloadStringAsync(uri);
}

'  Sample call : DownloadStringInBackground2 ("http:' www.contoso.com/GameScores.html")
Public Shared Sub DownloadStringInBackground2(ByVal address As String)

    Dim client As WebClient = New WebClient()

    '  Specify that the DownloadStringCallback2 method gets called
    '  when the download completes.
    AddHandler client.DownloadStringCompleted, AddressOf DownloadStringCallback2
                Dim uri as Uri = New Uri(address)
    client.DownloadStringAsync(uri)
End Sub

The following method is called when the download completes.

void DownloadStringCallback2( Object^ /*sender*/, DownloadStringCompletedEventArgs^ e )
{

   // If the request was not canceled and did not throw
   // an exception, display the resource.
   if (  !e->Cancelled && e->Error == nullptr )
   {
      String^ textString = dynamic_cast<String^>(e->Result);
      Console::WriteLine( textString );
   }
}

private static void DownloadStringCallback2(Object sender, DownloadStringCompletedEventArgs e)
{
    // If the request was not canceled and did not throw
    // an exception, display the resource.
    if (!e.Cancelled && e.Error == null)
    {
        string textString = (string)e.Result;

        Console.WriteLine(textString);
    }
}

Private Shared Sub DownloadStringCallback2(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DownloadStringCompletedEventArgs)

    '  If the request was not canceled and did not throw
    '  an exception, display the resource.
    If e.Cancelled = False AndAlso e.Error Is Nothing Then

        Dim textString As String = CStr(e.Result)
        Console.WriteLine(textString)
    End If
End Sub

Remarks

When you create a DownloadStringCompletedEventHandler delegate, you identify the method that will handle the event. To associate the event with your event handler, add an instance of the delegate to the event. The event handler is called whenever the event occurs, unless you remove the delegate. For more information about event handler delegates, see Handling and Raising Events.
