public override IAsyncResult BeginGetResponse(
    AsyncCallback callback,
    Object state
)
Visual C++
[HostProtectionAttribute(SecurityAction::LinkDemand, ExternalThreading = true)]
public:
virtual IAsyncResult^ BeginGetResponse(
    AsyncCallback^ callback, 
    Object^ state
) override
JScript
public override function BeginGetResponse(
    callback : AsyncCallback, 
    state : Object
) : IAsyncResult

Parameters

callback
Type: System..::.AsyncCallback
The AsyncCallback delegate
state
Type: System..::.Object
The state object for this request.

Return Value

Type: System..::.IAsyncResult
An IAsyncResult that references the asynchronous request for a response.
Exceptions

ExceptionCondition
InvalidOperationException

The stream is already in use by a previous call to BeginGetResponse

-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.

WebException

Abort was previously called.

Remarks

NoteNote:

The HostProtectionAttribute attribute applied to this type or member has the following Resources property value: ExternalThreading. The HostProtectionAttribute does not affect desktop applications (which are typically started by double-clicking an icon, typing a command, or entering a URL in a browser). For more information, see the HostProtectionAttribute class or SQL Server Programming and Host Protection Attributes.

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.

To learn more about the thread pool, see The Managed Thread Pool.

NoteNote:

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.

NoteNote:

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

Examples

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

NoteNote:

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.
