HttpWebRequest.GetResponse() Missing ??

Question

What is Wrong with it .... HttpWebRequest myReq = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(________________________ URL with STRING ________________________________); HttpWebResponse myResp = (HttpWebResponse)myReq.GetResponse(); // Intelisence doesn't show GetRes p onse() System.IO.StreamReader respStreamReader = new System.IO.StreamReader(myResp.GetResponseStream()); string responseString = respStreamReader.ReadToEnd(); respStreamReader.Close(); Even in Object Window there is no GetResponse() method  but i do get in Windows Form /WPF section !!

Abhishek Sorry for I didn't pay attention on Category of the question. Yes For Windows Phone 7 synchronous method GetResponse() doesn't exist. It's still asynchronous. See this post it's nicely explained: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5971866/cant-find-httpwebrequest-getresponse-in-wp7-project Hope it helps.

try { HttpWebRequest myReq=(HttpWebRequest) WebRequest.Create(__________URL______); myReq.BeginGetResponse(new AsyncCallback(FinishedWebRequest)myReq); if(_responseString.ToString()==1) error=false; MessageBox.Show(>> SEND() Completed); } catch { MessageBox.Show(ERROR: Server Busy :(); } } static void FinishedWebRequest(IAsyncResult result) { MessageBox.Show(>> Request Sent); HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)(result.AsyncState as HttpWebRequest).EndGetResponse(result); using (StreamReader sReader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream())) { _responseString = sReader.ReadToEnd(); MessageBox.Show(>>Response Accepted); } } _____________________________ Not working  Neither showing any exception nor any error. Just hault the screen .. :(

Hi Abhishek You can modify your code like this: (I have implemented it in console app for demo) static void Main(string[] args) { HttpWebRequest myReq = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(SOME_URI); myReq.BeginGetResponse(new AsyncCallback(FinishWebRequest) myReq); Console.ReadLine(); } static void FinishWebRequest(IAsyncResult result) { HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)(result.AsyncState as HttpWebRequest).EndGetResponse(result); using (StreamReader SR = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream())) { Console.Write(SR.ReadToEnd()); } } ----------------------------------------------- Hope it helps.

#Vulpes Will you please elaborate SIR !! 'm not that comfortable with it :/ .

Abhishek Kumar Ravi · Answer

Sir I have Included that Namespace even then its not showing then. System.Net.HttpWebRequest; Even in Object window that method is not there.

I've just checked the MSDN documentation for the HttpWebRequest class under the Silverlight version of the .NET framework and it will be seen that it doesn't support the GetResponse method at all: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.httpwebrequest(v=vs.95).aspx Silverlight and Windows Phone programming are not my thing but I'd imagine you have to use the asynchronous BeginGetResponse method instead.

Hello Abhishek I hope you didn't miss addiong a reference to System.Net namespace. Do check the for the dll under references section in Solution Explorer add it manually if not there and it will work. Hope it helps. Cheers!
