AsyncWebClient Property

Summary

Gets the WebClient object used for asynchronous operations.

Syntax
C#
C++/CLI
Python
public WebClient AsyncWebClient { get; } 
public: 
property WebClient^ AsyncWebClient { 
   WebClient^ get(); 
} 
AsyncWebClient # get  (RasterCodecs) 

Property Value

A WebClient object that will be used for asynchronous operations.

Remarks

NOTE: This topic is part of RasterCodecs Async support using the .NET System.ComponentMode.AsyncOperation model. For .NET async/await support this type/member is not used. Instead, refer to RasterCodecs Async Operations.

The RasterCodecs object supports getting information, loading and saving image files asynchronously through the use of the GetInformationAsync, LoadAsync, LoadSvgAsync and SaveAsync methods. These methods will use an internal WebClient object to perform their operations and this object will be created automatically on the first call to these methods and can be accessed through the AsyncWebClient property.

If it is desired to create the WebClient object manually (for example, to subscribe to any of its event or set the credentials prior to invoking any read operations), you can call UseAsync to create the object, change its behavior and then call GetInformationAsync, LoadAsync, LoadSvgAsync or SaveAsync.

Note: UseAsync, AsyncWebClient, IsAsyncBusy, and CancelAsync are only applicable when the GetInformationAsync, LoadAsync, LoadSvgAsync or SaveAsync was with the versions that take a Uri parameter. The versions that take a String or a Stream do not use a WebClient object internally.

If you want to check the progress or cancel the operation, then use the LoadImage event as normal.

Example
C#
using Leadtools; 
using Leadtools.Codecs; 
using Leadtools.ImageProcessing; 
using Leadtools.ImageProcessing.Color; 
using Leadtools.Svg; 
 
 
public void UseAsyncExample() 
{ 
   string srcFileName = Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.ImagesDir, "Image1.cmp"); 
   Uri uri = new Uri(srcFileName); 
 
   RasterCodecs codecs = new RasterCodecs(); 
 
   // The RasterCodecs.AsyncWebClient is null first 
   Debug.Assert(codecs.AsyncWebClient == null); 
 
   // Force the RasterCodecs object to create it 
   codecs.UseAsync(); 
 
   // Change the Cache policy 
   codecs.AsyncWebClient.CachePolicy = new System.Net.Cache.RequestCachePolicy(System.Net.Cache.RequestCacheLevel.CacheOnly); 
 
   // Now Load the file asynchronously 
   codecs.LoadAsyncCompleted += new EventHandler<CodecsLoadAsyncCompletedEventArgs>(useAsyncExample_LoadAsyncCompleted); 
   RasterImage image = codecs.LoadAsync(uri, null); 
} 
 
private void useAsyncExample_LoadAsyncCompleted(object sender, CodecsLoadAsyncCompletedEventArgs e) 
{ 
   if (e.Cancelled) 
   { 
      Debug.WriteLine("User canceled"); 
   } 
   else if (e.Error != null) 
   { 
      Debug.WriteLine("Error: " + e.Error.Message); 
   } 
   else 
   { 
      // Get the image 
      RasterImage image = e.Image; 
      Debug.WriteLine("Image loaded asynchronously: Size = {0} by {1}", image.Width, image.Height); 
      image.Dispose(); 
   } 
 
   // Unsubscribe to the event and dispose the RasterCodecs object 
   RasterCodecs codecs = sender as RasterCodecs; 
   codecs.LoadAsyncCompleted -= new EventHandler<CodecsLoadAsyncCompletedEventArgs>(useAsyncExample_LoadAsyncCompleted); 
   codecs.Dispose(); 
}
