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

The simpliest solution is to add Console.ReadKey() at the end of AsyncWebRequest(url) method. This way asyncWebRequest.DownloadStringAsync(url) will be able to retrieve data.
