Examples
The following example creates a WebResponse instance from a WebRequest.
// Initialize the WebRequest.
WebRequest^ myRequest = WebRequest::Create( "http://www.contoso.com" );
// Return the response.
WebResponse^ myResponse = myRequest->GetResponse();
// Code to use the WebResponse goes here.
// Close the response to free resources.
myResponse->Close();
// Initialize the WebRequest.
WebRequest myRequest = WebRequest.Create("http://www.contoso.com");
// Return the response.
WebResponse myResponse = myRequest.GetResponse();
// Code to use the WebResponse goes here.
// Close the response to free resources.
myResponse.Close();
' Initialize the WebRequest.
Dim myRequest As WebRequest = WebRequest.Create("http://www.contoso.com")
' Return the response.
Dim myResponse As WebResponse = myRequest.GetResponse()
' Code to use the WebResponse goes here.
' Close the response to free resources.
myResponse.Close()
Remarks
The WebResponse class is the abstract base class from which protocol-specific response classes are derived. Applications can participate in request and response transactions in a protocol-agnostic manner using instances of the WebResponse class while protocol-specific classes derived from WebResponse carry out the details of the request.
Client applications do not create WebResponse objects directly; they are created by calling the GetResponse method on a WebRequest instance.
Constructors
| WebResponse() |
Initializes a new instance of the WebResponse class. |
| WebResponse(SerializationInfo, StreamingContext) |
Initializes a new instance of the WebResponse class from the specified instances of the SerializationInfo and StreamingContext classes. |
Properties
| ContentLength |
When overridden in a descendant class, gets or sets the content length of data being received. |
| ContentType |
When overridden in a derived class, gets or sets the content type of the data being received. |
| Headers |
When overridden in a derived class, gets a collection of header name-value pairs associated with this request. |
| IsFromCache |
Gets a Boolean value that indicates whether this response was obtained from the cache. |
| IsMutuallyAuthenticated |
Gets a Boolean value that indicates whether mutual authentication occurred. |
| ResponseUri |
When overridden in a derived class, gets the URI of the Internet resource that actually responded to the request. |
| SupportsHeaders |
Gets a value that indicates if headers are supported. |
Methods
| Close() |
When overridden by a descendant class, closes the response stream. |
| Dispose() |
Releases the unmanaged resources used by the WebResponse object. |
| Dispose(Boolean) |
Releases the unmanaged resources used by the WebResponse object, and optionally disposes of the managed resources. |
| GetObjectData(SerializationInfo, StreamingContext) |
Populates a SerializationInfo with the data that is needed to serialize the target object. |
| GetResponseStream() |
When overridden in a descendant class, returns the data stream from the Internet resource. |
Explicit Interface Implementations
| ISerializable.GetObjectData(SerializationInfo, StreamingContext) |
Populates a SerializationInfo instance with the data that is needed to serialize WebResponse. |
