Hi,
I have in my Form constructor, after the InitializeComponent the following code:
using (WebClient client = new WebClient())
{
client.DownloadDataCompleted += new DownloadDataCompletedEventHandler(client_DownloadDataCompleted);
client.DownloadDataAsync("http://example.com/version.txt");
}
When I start my form, the UI doesn't appears till client_DownloadDataCompleted is raised.
The client_DownloadDataCompleted method is empty, so there's no problem there.
What I'm doing wrong?
How is supposed to do this without
freezing the UI?
Thanks for your time.
Best regards.
