FileWebRequest::BeginGetRequestStream Method (AsyncCallback^, Object^)

 

Begins an asynchronous request for a Stream object to use to write data.

Namespace:   System.Net
Assembly:  System (in System.dll)

public:
[HostProtectionAttribute(SecurityAction::LinkDemand, ExternalThreading = true)]
virtual IAsyncResult^ BeginGetRequestStream(
	AsyncCallback^ callback,
	Object^ state
) override

Parameters

callback
Type: System::AsyncCallback^

The AsyncCallback delegate.

state
Type: System::Object^

An object that contains state information for this request.

Return Value

Type: System::IAsyncResult^

An IAsyncResult that references the asynchronous request.

Exception Condition
ProtocolViolationException

The Method property is GET and the application writes to the stream.

InvalidOperationException

The stream is being used by a previous call to BeginGetRequestStream.

ApplicationException

No write stream is available.

WebException

The FileWebRequest was aborted.

The BeginGetRequestStream method starts an asynchronous request for a stream used to send data to a file system resource. The callback method that implements the AsyncCallback delegate uses the EndGetRequestStream method to return the request stream.

The following code example uses BeginGetRequestStream to make an asynchronous request for a Stream object.

public ref class RequestDeclare
{
public:
   FileWebRequest^ myFileWebRequest;
   String^ userinput;
   RequestDeclare()
   {
      myFileWebRequest = nullptr;
   }

};

ref class FileWebRequest_reqbeginend
{
public:
   static ManualResetEvent^ allDone = gcnew ManualResetEvent( false );
   static void ReadCallback( IAsyncResult^ ar )
   {
      try
      {

         // State of the request is asynchronous.
         RequestDeclare^ requestDeclare = dynamic_cast<RequestDeclare^>(ar->AsyncState);
         FileWebRequest^ myFileWebRequest = requestDeclare->myFileWebRequest;
         String^ sendToFile = requestDeclare->userinput;

         // End the Asynchronus request by calling the 'EndGetRequestStream()' method.
         Stream^ readStream = myFileWebRequest->EndGetRequestStream( ar );

         // Convert the String* into Byte array.
         ASCIIEncoding^ encoder = gcnew ASCIIEncoding;
         array<Byte>^byteArray = encoder->GetBytes( sendToFile );

         // Write to the stream.
         readStream->Write( byteArray, 0, sendToFile->Length );
         readStream->Close();
         allDone->Set();
         Console::WriteLine( "\nThe String you entered was successfully written into the file." );
         Console::WriteLine( "\nPress Enter to continue." );
      }
      catch ( ApplicationException^ e ) 
      {
         Console::WriteLine( "ApplicationException is : {0}", e->Message );
      }

   }

         Console::WriteLine( "Enter the String* you want to write into the file:" );
         requestDeclare->userinput = Console::ReadLine();
