Asynchronous HTTP SOAP 1.2 Request and Response using POST

Demonstrates a working asynchronous SOAP 1.2 request and response using POST with a live server. You may try running this example with the URLs and data provided. See http://wsf.cdyne.com/WeatherWS/Weather.asmx?op=GetCityWeatherByZIP for details.

Note: This example is correct in theory, but no longer works for live testing because the SOAP service provider (cdyne.com) has made changes or discontinued the free service.

// TaskCompleted callback method.
private void http_OnTaskCompleted(object sender, Chilkat.TaskCompletedEventArgs args)
    {
    Chilkat.Task completedTask = args.Task;
    //  A finished task could be one that was canceled, aborted, or truly finished.  

    //  If the task was "canceled", it was canceled prior to actually starting.  This could
    //  happen if the task was canceled while waiting in a thread pool queue to be scheduled by Chilkat's
    //  background thread pool scheduler.  

    //  If the task was "aborted", it indicates that it was canceled while running in a background thread.  
    //  The ResultErrorText will likely indicate that the task was aborted.

    //  If the task "completed", then it ran to completion, but the actual success/failure of the method
    //  is determined by the result obtained via a GetResult* method.  (A "completed" task will
    //  have a StatusInt equal to 7.   If the task finished, but was not completed, then it must've
    //  been aborted or canceled:
    if (completedTask.StatusInt != 7) {
        Debug.WriteLine("Task did not complete.");
        Debug.WriteLine("task status: " + completedTask.Status);
        return;
    }

    //  The synchronous call to QuickGetObj would return an HTTP response object.  To get this 
    //  response object for the async call, we instantiate a new/empty HTTP response object,
    //  and then load it from the completed task.
    Chilkat.HttpResponse resp = new Chilkat.HttpResponse();

    success = resp.LoadTaskResult(completedTask);
    if (success != true) {
        Debug.WriteLine(resp.LastErrorText);
        return;
    }

    //  Now that we have the response, we can get all of the information:

    Debug.WriteLine("status code: " + Convert.ToString(resp.StatusCode));
    Debug.WriteLine("response header: " + resp.Header);

    //  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    //  The following is a general note that applies to all programming languages:
    //  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    //  NOTE: This is very important:  The TaskCompleted callback runs in the background thread.  
    //  (All callbacks from an async task, such as AbortCheck, PercentDone, ProgressInfo, etc. are in the background thread.) 
    //  An application that uses TaskCompleted must be very careful.  
    //  For example, user interface elements (such as labels, text boxes, etc.) may not be directly
    //  accessible from a background thread, and could crash the application if directly accessed.  Also, attempting to debug
    //  code running in a background thread from an IDE, especially an older IDE (such as VB6) is likely to crash the IDE.
