Need .Net sample for download to file
I'm using Dropbox API in an asp.net application. I have managed to download the file contents into a stream upto the following line of code in an async task.
var strm = response.GetContentAsStr...
The GetContentAsStream method yields a Stream, so you should be able to use CopyTo like this:
var strm = await response.GetContentAsStreamAsync(); using (var fileStream = File.Create(localFilePath)) { strm.CopyTo(fileStream); }

Any ideas how to catch a Timeout exception for large downloads? I tried using Try/Catch but it is not raised.
Update: I tried this code but it doesn't cause a timeout.
var expirationTimeTask = Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30));
var strm = response.GetContentAsStreamAsync();
var finishedTask = await Task.WhenAny(expirationTimeTask, strm);
if (finishedTask == expirationTimeTask)
{
//timeout error processing (does not get here)
}
Oops. On debugging, I found that it is stuck at CopyTo and that takes a long time and times out. So does the actual download occur on "CopyTo"?
Update: Was above to solve this by studying the Asp.net samples on:
