Question

I have tried to connect to a server with HttpWebRequest & HttpWebResponse and it works fine, but I got another problem I want to know when the server have been time out or disconnected, suppose something happened to my connection and I got disconnected I want to know how can I understand this in the following code:

string uri = @"myUrl";
        HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(uri);
        request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(User, Pass);
        ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = ((sender, certificate, chain, sslPolicyErrors) => true);
        byte[] buf = new byte[10000];
        int count = -1;
        String read = "";
        HttpWebResponse response;
        //MessageBox.Show("OK");
        //response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
        //count = response.GetResponseStream().Read(buf, 0, buf.Length);
        //read = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(buf, 0, count);
        //MessageBox.Show(read + "SALAM");
        //while (true)
        //{
        response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
        //while (true)
        //{
        do
        {
            count = response.GetResponseStream().Read(buf, 0, buf.Length);
            read += Encoding.UTF8.GetString(buf, 0, count);
        } while (response.GetResponseStream().CanRead && count != 0);

        if (read != "")
        {
            // MessageBox.Show(read);
            XDocument xdoc = XDocument.Parse(read);

            //Filter EventXML
            var lv1s = from lv1 in xdoc.Descendants("event")
                       select new
                       {
                           Event_id = lv1.Attribute("id").Value,
                           Header = lv1.Attribute("name").Value,
                           Children = lv1.Descendants("argument")
                       };
            List<event_details> event_detail = new List<event_details>();


            foreach (var lv1 in lv1s)
            {
                if (lv1.Event_id == event_id)
                    foreach (var lv2 in lv1.Children)
                    {
                        event_details x = new event_details();
                        x.type = lv2.Attribute("type").Value;
                        x.value = lv2.Attribute("value").Value;
                        event_detail.Add(x);
                    }
            }
            //inja chun ke daram rooye MsgDGV ke ye k Datagridview minevisam bayad hatman az Invoke estefade konam
            // ta kharabkari nashe:P:D
            Point detail_point = new Point();
            detail_point.X = MsgDGV.Width / 2 + (this.Width - MsgDGV.Width) / 2;
            detail_point.Y = MsgDGV.Height / 2 + (this.Height - MsgDGV.Height) / 2;
            Details detail = new Details(event_detail, timestamp, EVENT, detail_point);
            detail.ShowDialog();
            event_details.Abort();
        }

Actually I found the way!!, The two answers above are working fine when you are disconnected from the internet or there is some problem with your connection, and it throws an exception and with the ways specified above, we can solve it, but when you are connected and in the middle of that you got disconnected the situation changed. Since you were connected, and you reach the:

response.GetResponseStream().Read(buf, 0, buf.Length);

Then it will stuck in this function then for the read you should specify a timeout so C# got this:

response.GetResponseStream().ReadTimeout = 1000;

so before the read you should specify a timeout and then everything works fine;
