Cancel WebClient DownloadTask Async

Question

I have a WebClient which I use to download a file.
This is my code, in which I have a ProgressDialog and a WebClient to download:

dialog = new ProgressDialog(mContext);
                dialog.SetProgressStyle(Android.App.ProgressDialogStyle.Horizontal);
                dialog.SetCancelable(true);
                dialog.SetCanceledOnTouchOutside(true);

                dialog.Show();// showing a dialog

                string url = "myurl";

                WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
                webClient.DownloadProgressChanged += WebClient_DownloadProgressChanged;
                dialog.CancelEvent += (s, e) =>
                {
                    webClient.CancelAsync();
       //----------------------- Crashes Here
                };

                try
                {
                    bytes = await webClient.DownloadDataTaskAsync(url);
                }
                catch (TaskCanceledException)
                {
                    return;
                }
                catch (Exception a)
                {
                    return;
                }

How do I cancel the download in the middle?

webClient.CancelAsync();

throws an exception:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object

The problem was in exception handling code when inner exception was null. To make it work just checking for inner exception using "?"

dialog.CancelEvent += (s, e) =>
                    {
                        webClient.CancelAsync();
                    };

                    try
                    {
                        bytes = await webClient.DownloadDataTaskAsync(url);
                    }
                    catch (WebException wex)
                    {
                        if (wex.Status == WebExceptionStatus.RequestCanceled)
                            return;
                        Toast.MakeText(mContext, wex.Message + "," + wex?.InnerException?.Message, ToastLength.Long).Show();
                        dialog.Progress = 0;
                        return;
                    }
                    catch (TaskCanceledException)
                    {
                        return;
                    }
                    catch (Exception a)
                    {
                        Toast.MakeText(mContext, a.Message + "," + a?.InnerException?.Message, ToastLength.Long).Show();
                        dialog.Progress = 0;
                        return;
                    }
