I need to convert the code found here to its vb.net equivalent, what can I try?
Excerpt of the code:
/// <summary>
/// Represents the method that will handle the PreRequest event.
/// </summary>
public delegate bool PreRequestHandler(HttpWebRequest request);
//And they call that delegate right before making the GetResponse call:
if (PreRequest != null)
{
// allow our user to change the request at will
if (!PreRequest(req))
{
return HttpStatusCode.ResetContent;
}
}
HttpWebResponse resp;
try
{
resp = req.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse;
}
//So all you have to do is assign a delegate to PreRequest and set your timeout within that delegate:
var web = new HtmlWeb();
web.PreRequest = delegate(HttpWebRequest webRequest)
{
webRequest.Timeout = 4;
return true;
};
var doc = web.Load("http://www.msn.com/");
''' <summary>
''' Represents the method that will handle the PreRequest event.
''' </summary>
Public Delegate Function PreRequestHandler(ByVal request As HttpWebRequest) As Boolean
'And they call that delegate right before making the GetResponse call:
If PreRequest IsNot Nothing Then
' allow our user to change the request at will
If Not PreRequest(req) Then
Return HttpStatusCode.ResetContent
End If
End If
Dim resp As HttpWebResponse
Try
resp = TryCast(req.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse)
End Try
'So all you have to do is assign a delegate to PreRequest and set your timeout within that delegate:
Dim web = New HtmlWeb()
web.PreRequest = Function(webRequest As HttpWebRequest)
webRequest.Timeout = 4
Return [True]
End Function
Dim doc = web.Load("http://www.msn.com/")
