Hello list, I'm not sure if this is a Monotouch bug or if we're doing something wrong here. We're trying to use System.Net.WebClient to fetch some data async with a nice optional "Cancel this download" button for the user - however trying to cancel the request blows up everything. Behold:
// random somewhat big file to not download string file = "http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.0/linux-2.0.1.tar.bz2";; WebClient client = new WebClient(); client.DownloadDataAsync(new Uri(file)); client.CancelAsync(); // kaboom The code above works just fine on .NET/Windows - also, changing DownloadDataAsync to DownloadStringAsync seems to work as we would expect it to (no kaboom, but we need the raw data so unfortunately we can't use it) Thoughts? Bug? Help? / V -- View this message in context: http://monotouch.2284126.n4.nabble.com/CancelAsync-on-DownloadDataAsync-crashes-monotouch-tp4560900p4560900.html Sent from the MonoTouch mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ MonoTouch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/monotouch
