string uri = http://1.....; WebClient client = new WebClient(); client.Headers[Accept] = application/json; client.DownloadStringAsync(new Uri(uri)); client.DownloadStringCompleted += (s1 e1) => { // string data = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(e1.Result.ToString()); MessageBox.Show(A); MessageBox.Show(e1.Result.ToString()); }
