Description

Sys.Net.WebRequestManager Constructor

Initializes a new instance of the Sys.Net.WebRequestManager class when implemented in a derived class.

Sys.Net.WebRequestManager add_completedRequest Method

Registers a handler for the completed request event of the WebRequestManager.

Sys.Net.WebRequestManager add_invokingRequest Method

Registers a handler for the invoking request event of the WebRequestManager.

Sys.Net.WebRequestManager remove_completedRequest Method

Removes the event handler set by the add_completedRequest method.

Sys.Net.WebRequestManager remove_invokingRequest Method

Removes the event handler set by the add_invokingRequest method.

Sys.Net.WebRequestManager.executeRequest Method

Executes the specified Web request.

Sys.Net.WebRequestManager defaultExecutor Property

Gets or sets the default executor for the Web request.

Sys.Net.WebRequestManager defaultTimeout Property

Gets or sets the default time-out for the Web request.

Sys.Net.WebRequestManager completedRequest Event

Occurs when a request has been handled.

Sys.Net.WebRequestManager invokingRequest Event

Occurs when a handler function is called for the request.

Remarks

The default executor associated with a WebRequest object is an instance of the XmlHttpExecutor class. The executor is responsible for making the actual network requests.

The WebRequestManager class defines the default behavior for all Web requests so that you do not have to specify low-level network configuration settings for each request.

Each page contains only one WebRequestManager instance. However, you might have several instances of the WebRequest class and related executor.

Example

The following example shows how to use the WebRequestManager class to set common properties and to execute a Web request. The example shows a Web page and the client script used to interact with the WebRequestManager class.
