Await in catch block

Question

I have the following code:

WebClient wc = new WebClient();
string result;
try
{
  result = await wc.DownloadStringTaskAsync( new Uri( \"http://badurl\" ) );
         


        

Answer 1

This seems to work.

        WebClient wc = new WebClient();
        string result;
        Task downloadTask = wc.DownloadStringTaskAsync(new Uri("http://badurl"));
        downloadTask = downloadTask.ContinueWith(
            t => {
                return wc.DownloadStringTaskAsync(new Uri("http://google.com/")).Result;
            }, TaskContinuationOptions.OnlyOnFaulted);
        result = await downloadTask;
