Examples

The following example uses the GetResponseStream method to return the data stream from the file system resource.

C#
Uri fileUrl = new Uri("file://"+url);
// Create a 'FileWebrequest' object with the specified Uri.
FileWebRequest myFileWebRequest = (FileWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(fileUrl);
// Send the 'FileWebRequest' object and wait for response.
FileWebResponse myFileWebResponse = (FileWebResponse)myFileWebRequest.GetResponse();

// Get the stream object associated with the response object.
Stream receiveStream = myFileWebResponse.GetResponseStream();

Encoding encode = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("utf-8");
// Pipe the stream to a higher level stream reader with the required encoding format.
StreamReader readStream = new StreamReader( receiveStream, encode );
Console.WriteLine("\r\nResponse stream received");

Char[] read = new Char[256];
// Read 256 characters at a time.
int count = readStream.Read( read, 0, 256 );
Console.WriteLine("File Data...\r\n");
while (count > 0)
{
    // Dump the 256 characters on a string and display the string onto the console.
    String str = new String(read, 0, count);
    Console.Write(str);
    count = readStream.Read(read, 0, 256);
}
Console.WriteLine("");
// Release resources of stream object.
readStream.Close();
// Release resources of response object.
myFileWebResponse.Close();
