HttpWebRequest httpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)asyncResult.AsyncState;
Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(() =>
{
try
{
NetworkInterfaceInfo networkInterfaceInfo = httpWebRequest.GetCurrentNetworkInterface();
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(networkInterfaceInfo.InterfaceType.ToString());
}
catch (NetworkException networkException)
{
if (networkException.NetworkErrorCode == NetworkError.WebRequestAlreadyFinished)
{
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Cannot call GetCurrentNetworkInterface if the webrequest is already complete");
