FileWebRequest.EndGetResponse(IAsyncResult) Method

Definition

Ends an asynchronous request for a file system resource.

public:
 override System::Net::WebResponse ^ EndGetResponse(IAsyncResult ^ asyncResult);
public override System.Net.WebResponse EndGetResponse (IAsyncResult asyncResult);
override this.EndGetResponse : IAsyncResult -> System.Net.WebResponse
Public Overrides Function EndGetResponse (asyncResult As IAsyncResult) As WebResponse

Parameters

asyncResult
IAsyncResult

An IAsyncResult that references the pending request for a response.

Returns

A WebResponse that contains the response from the file system resource.

Exceptions

asyncResult is null.

Examples

The following code example uses the EndGetResponse method to end an asynchronous request for a file system resource.

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

};

      RequestDeclare^ requestDeclare = dynamic_cast<RequestDeclare^>(ar->AsyncState);
      FileWebRequest^ myFileWebRequest = requestDeclare->myFileWebRequest;
      
      // End the Asynchronus request by calling the 'EndGetResponse()' method.
      FileWebResponse^ myFileWebResponse = dynamic_cast<FileWebResponse^>(myFileWebRequest->EndGetResponse( ar ));
      
      // Reade the response into Stream.

Remarks

The EndGetResponse method completes an asynchronous request for a file system resource that was started with the BeginGetResponse method.
