HttpWebRequest.BeginGetRequestStream Method
Assembly: System (in system.dll)
public IAsyncResult BeginGetRequestStream ( AsyncCallback callback, Object state )
public override function BeginGetRequestStream ( callback : AsyncCallback, state : Object ) : IAsyncResult
Parameters
- callback
The AsyncCallback delegate.
- state
The state object for this request.
Return Value
An IAsyncResult that references the asynchronous request.| Exception type | Condition |
|---|---|
| The Method property is GET or HEAD. -or- KeepAlive is true, AllowWriteStreamBuffering is false, ContentLength is -1, SendChunked is false, and Method is POST or PUT. | |
| The stream is being used by a previous call to BeginGetRequestStream -or- TransferEncoding is set to a value and SendChunked is false. -or- The thread pool is running out of threads. | |
| The request cache validator indicated that the response for this request can be served from the cache; however, requests that write data must not use the cache. This exception can occur if you are using a custom cache validator that is incorrectly implemented. | |
| Abort was previously called. | |
| In a .NET Compact Framework application, a request stream with zero content length was not obtained and closed correctly. For more information about handling zero content length requests, see Network Programming in the .NET Compact Framework. |
The BeginGetRequestStream method starts an asynchronous request for a stream used to send data for the HttpWebRequest. The asynchronous callback method uses the EndGetRequestStream method to return the actual stream.
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. |

| This member outputs trace information when you enable network tracing in your application. For more information, see Network Tracing. |
The following code example uses the BeginGetRequestStream method to make an asynchronous request for a stream instance.
using System; using System.Net; using System.IO; using System.Text; using System.Threading; class HttpWebRequestBeginGetRequest { public static ManualResetEvent allDone = new ManualResetEvent(false); public static void Main() { // Create a new HttpWebRequest object.

A real world application // could do something useful such as updating its user interface. allDone.WaitOne(); // Get the response. HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse(); Stream streamResponse = response.GetResponseStream(); StreamReader streamRead = new StreamReader(streamResponse); string responseString = streamRead.ReadToEnd(); Console.WriteLine(responseString); // Close the stream object. streamResponse.Close(); streamRead.Close(); // Release the HttpWebResponse. response.Close(); } private static void ReadCallback(IAsyncResult asynchronousResult) { HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)asynchronousResult.AsyncState; // End the operation.
