I have a webrequest to get a xml.That works great but when i press F12(lock screen) while the the server is requested by my app...I got a WebException.
I use a taskCompeltionSource object...
Here is my code
public async Task<String> Query(DataRequestParam dataRequestParam)
{
_dataRequestParam = dataRequestParam;
try
{
Result = "";
Result = await myDownloadString(dataRequestParam);
}
catch (WebException we)//ERROR IS CAUGHT HERE
{
throw new WebException(we.Message);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw new MyException(ex.Message);
}
return Result;
}
public static Task<string> myDownloadString(DataRequestParam dataRequestParam)
{
var tcs = new TaskCompletionSource<string>();
var web = new WebClient();
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(dataRequestParam.AuthentificationLogin))
{
System.Net.NetworkCredential account = new NetworkCredential(dataRequestParam.AuthentificationLogin, dataRequestParam.AuthentificationPassword);
web.Credentials = account;
}
web.DownloadStringCompleted += (s, e) =>
{
if (e.Error != null) tcs.TrySetException(e.Error);
else if (e.Cancelled) tcs.TrySetCanceled();
else tcs.TrySetResult(e.Result);
};
web.DownloadStringAsync(dataRequestParam.TargetUri);
return tcs.Task;
}
