VS 2008 - WebClient DownloadCompleted Exception
Oct 10, 2010
I have not much experience with the WebClient.. How can I catch this exception of e.Result DownloadDataCompletedEventArgs; "The remote name could not be resolved", which occurs after some time when internet connection is not working..? [URL]
The calling method:
Private Sub DoDownload()
Dim wc As New WebClient
Try
wc.DownloadDataAsync(New System.Uri(Me.webImageLink))
AddHandler wc.DownloadDataCompleted, AddressOf OnDownloadCompleted
Catch ex As Exception
Debug.Print(ex)
End Try
End Sub

I'm developing a scraper that scrapes one web page for links, then creates threads which execute scraping of subpages.
[code]...
I've noticed that sometimes (usually when there are more simultaneous threads running) a thread throws an exception. It happens randomly, the exception is thrown at client.OpenRead and it says "Value cannot be null. Parameter name: address". I also have a try..catch here so I put a breakpoint in the catch block and it appears that the _Address is valid at the time, yet the code throws an exception.

i'm using WebClient in VB.NET to make requests. I add the headers using WebClient.Headers.Add() in the order I want the headers sent. However when I packet sniff the requests it makes I can see that the headers are sent in totally the wrong order. Does anyone know if there's a way of setting the order the headers are sent?

I've been testing using WebClient.DownloadString and sometimes I encounter an error: "The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden". It is based upon which url I use. For instance, this works:
Dim wc As New Net.WebClientDim strResult As String = String.Empty
Try
strResult = wc.DownloadString("http:/ Obama pages always fails.

i am using the Webclient and Streamreader in Visual basic 2008 to retrieve data from the web. I access Yahoo and download stock information this all works well except for one area. All the indices symbols on Yahoo start with a circumflex character ^ so for example, the Dow Jones Index code is ^FTSE. When I include the ^ in the URI string sent via the Webclient it does not send the ^ it sends the code for ^ instead which Yahoo sees as %5E. Having made some tests is seems that certain characters do not get converted to their hex code and some do. A * gets sent just fine but a % also gets sent as its code 25.If I manually enter this from my browser it works just fine.

I've just switched my code over that downloads data as bytes to use a WebClient. I add a header saying I will accept GZip and the site I'm downloading from sends me the data compressed. The problem is, how can I check to make sure it is compressed data before attempting to decompress it? It was much simpler when I was using a Web Request to check the response headers, but I'm having a little trouble checking the reponse headers with a WebClient. Does anybody out there accept compression with a WebClient?

I'm using the following code to set the proxy on an HTTPWebRequest:
Dim proxy As New WebProxy("HOST:PORT")
...Then...
' Goto the final URL
request = CType(WebRequest.Create("[URL]"), HttpWebRequest)
request.Proxy = curProxy
[Code] .....
Now I put in a valid Proxy, don't run into any problems applying it, but IPChicken will always return my IP address, not that of the proxy.

I'm looking for a way to fill in various website details using a HttpWebRequest/WebClient. I can manage it quite easily using an invisible WebBrowser control, by manipulating the HtmlDocument, but for some reason I just can't quite grasp the way I would do it with a HttpWebRequest/WebClient. I've heard both of these can potentially submit info using the UploadData functionality etc, but I'm missing specificsI've done a lot of searching on google just for a basic example to get me started, but the only one that LOOKED informative was written entirely in German.Take, for example, this website. Let's just say I wanted to automate filling in my username and password into their respective boxes and then pressing the "submit" button. How would I start going about this, and how do I get the resulting page? (I'm assuming cookies that the page creates will keep your next webrequest going)

I've been using an invisible WebBrowser control to submit a form on my server, but I'd like to use System.Net.WebClient() to accomplish this so I don't have the control hanging around on my form.I need to get the page, fill out the username and password fields, and click the submit button. This was done easily enough with the WebBrowser control, but I can't find any examples using System.Net.WebClient().

I can download the files I want. However, the client has insisted on creating different folders which will contain the version number. So the name of the folders would be something like this: 1.0.1, 1.0.2, 1.0.3, etc.So the files will be contained in the latest version in this case folder 1.0.3. However, how can my web client detect which is the latest one?

I'm having trouble using the webclient to download a file. This same code works in another app that I'm using, but when downloading the second file, I get an exception saying that there are illegal characters in the path.The second item that it is having troubledownloading's filename is "Filename.exe.manifest". The RemoteUri is the download link, item is the name of the file. When I print out the path that it is downloading from and the path that it is downloading to, both are correct. I can type the address in the browser and it downloads fine. (The problem file is not exename)
For Each item As String In files
If item = exename Then
If My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists(Forms.Application.StartupPath & "" & item & ".new")

I have a weird bug with webclient. I made an app a while ago which uses webclient to download a small thumbnail image.. and I rememeber when I first made it, the first time webclient was used to download the image it always took 15 sec+ to download it, but after the first it always downloaded quickly (in like 1 sec) .. but then the problem went away for me and it always downloaded fine.but now someone else who uses my app is having the slow image download problem apparently around 50% of the time it downloads the thumbnail images. so does anyone know what might be causing this? As I said, I don't have the problem any more on my comp - but I don't know why :s

I'm downloading a file from my website using WebClient.DownloadFile(),I'm wanting to do it asynchronously, so my UI stays responsive, that would require me creating an array of web clients, is that bad practice? Or is it acceptable?I have looked into FileWebRequest, but thought WebClient looked easier to implement.

It is possible to catch an exception and throw a new exception which wraps the first exception as an inner exception: [URL] Also, if I call a function and it throws a certain error, but I catch it, will the calling code's catch handler execute? If so, and it is of a higher exception type, is this not wrapping the exception? eg I can throw exception ex of type IndexOutOfRange, log it but rethrow, catch a higher up exception and do something, or I can throw a new exception and wrap an inner exception like:

I've managed to narrow down my issue to a simple annoyance. I had a Webbrowser control mostly coded to navigate around an Oracle CRM On Demand site to generate metric reports, but then realized when I tried to build in the auto-download part, that the Webbrowser object wasn't going to give me the behind-the-scenes control I wanted. Searching online, it seems the Webclient control might be a better route. However I'm stuck trying to get by the login page so I can use the Download-File method to get my generated xls report. [Code] But every reply from the server has "Sign In Error: Both a user sign in ID and a password must be given." which tells me the form/post data isn't getting where it needs to go (It thinks the form is blank at [Code].
The above username and password are bogus of course, but once I can get a different reply then 'the fields are blank' I can worry about correct logon information. I'm just not sure what I'm not doing correctly or if I need to include something else. Since it's a publicly accessible site and I'm stuck getting something in the form to be 'seen', it should be easy for others to try and test.

I have a large project where we have 2-3 dll projects that are converted from VB6 to VB.NET. We have fixed all the issues that caused compilation errors, and most of obvious issues in running, so now we have basically a program up and running. The exe is created from scratch in VB.NET, using a lot of functionality from the converted dll's (including GUI forms). What I wonder is when I run the program in debug mode, I get a bunch of warnings in the "Immediate Window" saying:
A first chance exception of type 'System.Exception' occurred in Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll
...and some of other type (but most of them in Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll).I was wondering if this is common in projects converted from VB6, or if it is caused by bad design in our code...

I'm trying to catch a user defined permission exception - i.e. a user does something their level of system access won't allow, permission exception is thrown. My problem is, the exception is caught and then rethrown as a genertic System.Exception.Is there any way I can deduce the original exception type, without resorting to string comparisons, like if ex.ToString.Contains("Permission denied"

When catching an exception in .net, you can have as many type-specific exception blocks as needed. But I usually try to have at least one "general" exception catch block. But is there a way to get the type of the "real" exception thrown that is caught by the generic exception handler, perhaps using reflection?For example, if I have
Catch ex As System.ServiceModel.FaultException(Of InvalidUser)
ProcessModuleLoadException(Me, ex)
Catch ex As System.ServiceModel.FaultException(Of SQLExceptions)
