Webclient's DownloadStringCompleted event handler never called

Question

I\'m trying to make an asynchronous HTTP GET request using Webclient, however, the registered callback never gets called. I\'ve also tried with the sync one, and it worked fine.

Answer 1

Maybe because you disposing the WebClient before it finished downloading. The code execution don't stop on asyncWebRequest.DownloadStringAsync(url); and you are disposing the WebClient object by closing the using statement.

try to dispose the WebClient on asyncWebRequest_DownloadStringCompleted.
