DelegatingHandler Class
A type for HTTP handlers that delegate the processing of HTTP response messages to another handler, called the inner handler.
Assembly: System.Net.Http (in System.Net.Http.dll)
System.Net.Http::HttpMessageHandler
System.Net.Http::DelegatingHandler
System.Net.Http::MessageProcessingHandler
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | DelegatingHandler() | Creates a new instance of the DelegatingHandler class. |
![]() | DelegatingHandler(HttpMessageHandler^) | Creates a new instance of the DelegatingHandler class with a specific inner handler. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | InnerHandler | Gets or sets the inner handler which processes the HTTP response messages. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Dispose() | Releases the unmanaged resources and disposes of the managed resources used by the HttpMessageHandler.(Inherited from HttpMessageHandler.) |
![]() | Dispose(Boolean) | Releases the unmanaged resources used by the DelegatingHandler, and optionally disposes of the managed resources.(Overrides HttpMessageHandler::Dispose(Boolean).) |
![]() | Equals(Object^) | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.(Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | Finalize() | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection.(Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetHashCode() | Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetType() | |
![]() | MemberwiseClone() | |
![]() | SendAsync(HttpRequestMessage^, CancellationToken) | Sends an HTTP request to the inner handler to send to the server as an asynchronous operation.(Overrides HttpMessageHandler::SendAsync(HttpRequestMessage^, CancellationToken).) |
![]() | ToString() | Returns a string that represents the current object.(Inherited from Object.) |
This application normally instantiate this class and then set the inner handler or provide an inner handler in the constructor.
Note that InnerHandler property may be a delegating handler too. This approach allows the creation of handler stacks to process the HTTP response messages.
