Re: System.IO.StringReader ReadToEnd()

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

To answer my own question,

Here is my original code, below it is what I did to fix my problem.

System.Net.WebClient wc = new System.Net.WebClient();
System.Net.WebProxy wp = new System.Net.WebProxy();
wp.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
wc.Headers.Add("User-Agent", "Mozilla/4.0+");
wc.Proxy = wp;
strm = wc.OpenRead(nextSubURL);
System.IO.StreamReader sr = new System.IO.StreamReader(strm);
System.IO.StringReader strReader = new
System.IO.StringReader(sr.ReadToEnd());

the fix:

sr.DiscardBufferedData();
and of course you should always:
sr.close();

strm = wc.OpenRead(nextSubURL);
System.IO.StreamReader sr = new System.IO.StreamReader(strm);
System.IO.StringReader strReader = new
System.IO.StringReader(sr.ReadToEnd());

is in a loop grabbing a different nextSubURL from a table in my Db and I was
putting a different HTML page in the StreamReader everytime, clearing it
would be a tremendous help solve all timeout problems. Since the sr object
doesn't have a timeout method that isn't an option.

It's a neat little windows app, works great.

Scott, while I certainly appreciate the obvious answer and I'm absolutly a

Thanks anyway.

I think is is because occassionally what you are reading takes too long to
read. The only thing you can do is increase your timeout time.

I'm doing screen scraping from a Windows Application and dumping certain
data
into a SqlDb, it's one of our parent websites, through a Proxy server
using
the the WebClient class. I have used the WebRequest/Response classes but
the
only benefit I got from that was the abiliy to control the timeout on the
WebResponse. I can control the timeout on the ProxyServer here and that's
all I need. For the issue I'm having the code below should suffice:

System.Net.WebClient wc = new System.Net.WebClient();
System.Net.WebProxy wp = new System.Net.WebProxy();
wp.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
wc.Headers.Add("User-Agent", "Mozilla/4.0+");
wc.Proxy = wp;
strm = wc.OpenRead(nextSubURL);
System.IO.StreamReader sr = new System.IO.StreamReader(strm);
System.IO.StringReader strReader = new
System.IO.StringReader(sr.ReadToEnd());

Here's my problem, eventually I'm getting a timeout on sr.ReadToEnd. I'm
not getting it everytime; could it be that some pages being dumed into the
StreamReader are just to big? I know that I can't control that but if
there a
way to stop that from timing out?

Thanks everyone.
