I use the following code for handling an async response:
private static void RespCallback(IAsyncResult ar)
{
// Get the RequestState object from the async result.
RequestState rs = (RequestState)ar.AsyncState;
// Get the WebRequest from RequestState.
WebRequest req = rs.Request;
// Call EndGetResponse, which produces the WebResponse object
// that came from the request issued above.
WebResponse resp = req.EndGetResponse(ar);
// Start reading data from the response stream.
Stream ResponseStream = resp.GetResponseStream();
// Store the response stream in RequestState to read
// the stream asynchronously.
rs.ResponseStream = ResponseStream;
// Pass rs.BufferRead to BeginRead. Read data into rs.BufferRead
IAsyncResult iarRead = ResponseStream.BeginRead(rs.BufferRead, 0,
BUFFER_SIZE, new AsyncCallback(ReadCallBack), rs);
}
private static void ReadCallBack(IAsyncResult asyncResult)
{
// Get the RequestState object from AsyncResult.
RequestState rs = (RequestState)asyncResult.AsyncState;
// Retrieve the ResponseStream that was set in RespCallback.
Stream responseStream = rs.ResponseStream;
// Read rs.BufferRead to verify that it contains data.
int read = responseStream.EndRead(asyncResult);
if (read > 0)
{
// Prepare a Char array buffer for converting to Unicode.
Char[] charBuffer = new Char[BUFFER_SIZE];
// Convert byte stream to Char array and then to String.
// len contains the number of characters converted to Unicode.
int len =
rs.StreamDecode.GetChars(rs.BufferRead, 0, read, charBuffer, 0);
String str = new String(charBuffer, 0, len);
// Append the recently read data to the RequestData stringbuilder
// object contained in RequestState.
rs.RequestData.Append(
Encoding.Unicode.GetString(rs.BufferRead, 0, read));
// Continue reading data until
// responseStream.EndRead returns –1.
IAsyncResult ar = responseStream.BeginRead(
rs.BufferRead, 0, BUFFER_SIZE,
new AsyncCallback(ReadCallBack), rs);
}
else
{
if (rs.RequestData.Length > 0)
{
// Display data to the console.
string strContent;
strContent = rs.RequestData.ToString();
}
// Close down the response stream.
responseStream.Close();
// Set the ManualResetEvent so the main thread can exit.
allDone.Set();
}
return;
}
I got this code from MSDN.
I am trying to get a response using the following code:
System.Uri uri = new Uri("http://www.contoso.com");
WebRequest wreq = WebRequest.Create(uri);
// Create the state object.
RequestState rs = new RequestState();
// Put the request into the state object so it can be passed around.
rs.Request = wreq;
// Issue the async request.
IAsyncResult r = (IAsyncResult)wreq.BeginGetResponse(
new AsyncCallback(RespCallback), rs);
allDone.WaitOne();
But application stops on allDone.WaitOne();. When I comment this string application works correct and is getting a response. What is wrong with request asynch thread?
